Default Re: Transformer safety?

I don’t have a problem with receivers with an isolated mains transformer being considered safer than live chassis sets, it’s the age of the transformer in these 50+ year old sets that is being relied upon for safety that’s the problem for me.

Perhaps I am being over cautious but I am happy to use this equipment knowing it’s potential problems, but I wouldn’t give a set to anyone who wasn’t aware.

I use RCD’s and lightly fuse the sets I have.
