Good advice, Jeffhs. AK-ers that like to delve into old radios are likely acquainted with the shock hazards, but it is still a good idea to be reminded now and then. I've in the past been bitten by AC/DC sets on a lot of occasions--many being of circumstances the most warped mind couldn't imagine. (Owitch! How'd dat happen?!) One cannot be too careful.

A one-to-one ratio isolation transformer is a good thing to have around when working on these chasses. This rids one of one hazard, and leaves just the electrolytics and the tweeter to address.

Isolation transformers of adequate KVA rating should be obtainable through most electronic parts jobbers.
