Default Re: Philips BX281U20 valve radio

A fuse is shown on the circuit diagram at Z1 before the mains switch. What appears to be a fuse holder is shown on figure 9 on the service sheet connected to wire numbered 15.

It is vital to connect this unit correctly to the mains, if you have measured your mains voltage at 245V, then one orientation of the mains connector will put the whole chassis at or close to 245V above earth.

There are other precautions you need to take, (eg. Work with one hand in your back pocket) but their successful implementation depends on understanding what you are doing.
