Be sure that the control knobs can't be pulled off, that nobody's going to open the back when it's plugged in, and that you remove the mains plug from the wall when the set's not in use

Thanks for the warning, I have spotted this already, I researched the set even before I plugged it in - but a reminder is always welcome
I note also about the ease in which the back of the set can be opened, and I am sure I have seen a thread on here about retro fitting a device, like Roberts did in later sets, which would render such that the set can't be opened without using a tool. (Screw lock or some-such). An adaptation I may consider.
