O-k

I'm looking at a MIL eliminator that I purchased from a fellow CEGer. Here's what I'm looking at:

1 Mega Ohm Resistor (250V)
1 micro farad capacitor

I'm looking to wire these in line with the grey and black wires per the schemetic that's been posted on here: Demon's Webpage

But what I'm seeing that this guy has done is that he has sodered the capacitor inline on one side of the resistor. Is that right? I thought that resistor would go inline on the grey wire, and that the capacitor would go inline on the black wire, and that the 2 shouldn't touch...should they?

Please help...looking to get this done today!
