Some TVs and radios (AA5) ran right off the AC input without a transformer. Sometimes they would solder one side right to the chassis! Depending on which way you plugged in the non-polarized plug, the whole chassis could become hot
An isolation transformer will make the set act as if it had a power transformer.
