Howdy people,

I stumbled across this loose ground on my Diner. Before I try and fix it I have two questions:

Does anyone know where it's supposed to go? I can see that it's got a flat spot towards the tip. Also, it's incased in polyurethane tubing. I found it hanging loose down in the cabinet and realized it's supposed to run up into the backbox somewhere. Maybe underneath the rail for the backglass?

Second question: for a loose ground, can I just anchor it anywhere on the cabinet, like under a screw head, or tie it into an adjacent ground braid? Or, does it need to be placed precisely?

Thanks for your help.

Talking about this one?

Like this? Also, I'm guessing I should staple it down so it doesn't accidentally make contact with anything... The speaker wire (ground) is mounted under the wingnut [along with ground braid traveling under the metal plate and leading to the boards].

Yep, thanks. I realized that after the fact (I'm new...)

I'll do that. Thanks!
