the wire is attached to the main plate underneath.

Yes it is an earth wire. It's screwed to the chassis and the other end to the mains earth coming in.

Thanks or the replies.
All sorted now.

Reconnected earth to connector block where the earth is attached from the power cable.
Powers up and turns, will do a listen test later.

I didn't fry myself so all seems well.
I dislike electricity!
