(The 840A has an earth-terminal on the back which connects to the inner circuitry through a high-voltage ceramic capacitor to allow the passage of RF to earth but blocking any significant supply-frequency currents from getting out)
So did you connect the 840A's earth terminal to the diecast box, or to an independent earth?
