Default Re: Philips BX281U20 valve radio

Please be careful, I doubt the standoffs are metal and why do you think it will be ok at 240v plus when it clearly says 220v on the selector ? Over running to that extent will stress the valves and probably other things too. Do you think it has a mains transformer as well as an output transformer ? If no mains transformer, it is virtually certain to have a live chassis. Finally, I believe the aerial coupling cap needs to be replaced with a class X (?) rated component as it’s safety critical.
