I hadn't thought that through; but I see that now. Thank you all for the informative replies. I'd like to use this as a bedside radio as it's small enough and does work well on MW. The power of the set is only 43.2 W. I've found an 45W AC-AC converter with a 110V and USA outlet. I now intend to put a NEMA 1 15A USA plug on the set and use it with the converter, which I believe is an auto transformer. So the chassis would not be isolated but it would at least be at neutral potential and this seems a simple solution to allow use of the set day to day but only by me.
