With 115v line voltage, you MUST use a transformer to generate the 250-300 volts B+ needed by a color set.
Our 230v line voltage allows us to generate the B+ with just a rectifier and a filter can, and that's one of the reasons why the live chassis technique is so popular in European sets.
Anyway, live chassis sets are safe to use, provided that the back panels, plastic head screws, correct knobs, antenna coupling capacitors etc are all in place and in good conditions.
