The speaker leads may look like bare copper but actually have an enamel coating so there is some insulation on them.

CAUTION: This radio has the powerline connected directly to the chassis. If you are going to use it as an amp, connecting it to external equipment, you need an isolation transformer on the power input. You can cause a shock hazard or short out external equipment if you don't.

The speaker leads are usually isolated from the powerline but sometimes one is grounded...making the speaker leads possibly a shock hazard, if you don't have an isolation transformer on the power line.
