I have acquired a Zenith MJ-1035 since this thread started, and I'm unhappy to report that it has series heaters and is NOT isolated from the power line! There is a version with 6V tubes, but it is also NOT isolated - it has only a filament transformer. How much more would it have cost to add a plate winding to that transformer? And to think that I ran it with a CD player plugged in... never again!

Tom, I also have an MJ-1035 and was thinking of connecting my solid-state Radio Shack SCT-11 cassette deck to it. After reading your reply to this thread, however, I've decided against it for safety reasons. (My MJ-1035 is like yours; series-string tube filaments and an unmistakable warning on the back cover, stating that the chassis is connected directly to one side of the AC line--I don't want to think of what might happen
if I were to connect my SS tape deck to it.)
