I am back with a Kustom K-100. Started in 1979 with a gold K-100 piggyback and now have gotten a Cascade K-100. I want to change to a 3 prong cord, but here is my question. I have seen pictures with the orange cap on and without.

1. Does the orange cap need to be removed when installing a 3 prong cord?

I notice some hiss when amp is on and have this question.

2. Would using a heat gun "warm up" caps and reduce some hiss?

thanks for your reply
