All of that color second anode voltage and other high current circuitry and a piece of woodgrain metal is all that keeps it from me!  |
Two words....Isolation Transformer!
Being a transformer power supply set you should be ok. Once the the set is in running condition you can always take a meter and measure chassis ground to a A/C plug ground to detect any leakage. I've been around a lot of metal cabinet sets in the day and I'm ok! Really!!
But if you're unsure of that Zenith I'll be glad to remove it from your premises!!
