This isn't a series string or hot chassis set. It has a power transformer like the 17" tabletop models.

Does not matter, it also is used to match the tuners input to the 300 ohm lead. regardless of whether the set is a power transformer type or Hot chassis type, the balun still provides some isolation for safety reasons.
