I'm glad you didn't see my post as an attack against you personally , because it was not you I was addressing , as much as it was the misinformation that all selectable voltage sets had power transformers/cold chassis . I want you to know that in my younger days I'd develop such notions myself , based on the sets I kept seeing in the shop where I worked , and then wouldn't ya know next week I'd see a set on my bench that a week earlier I'd have bet didn't exist . Weird stuff like a TV that had a transformer for the tube's heaters only , and a hot chassis voltage doubler power supply using selenium rectifiers , or conversely , seeing a set with series heaters and transformer equipped B+ supply cold chassis .
You will see many things like this in the course of your hobby , and to me it's cool to ponder what oddity of engineering would lead to such deviations from the "normal" way most sets were wired .
