Re: Dropper dissipation in Bush DAC90A.
A bit too much paranoia there John.
If we think the AC/DC set police task force with battering rams are heading for the front door is ever likely to happen, we are not being realistic.
In reality even sets like the common DAC90A are actually not that common. A cheap Chinese Wall wart or their plugs with dummy fuses are much more dangerous than a few DAC90A radios. As collectors and engineers we are more aware of safety and will do our level best to make the sets as safe as possible. A wired in RCD is helpful as is heat resistant mesh, hard wired mains cable and like I say a cap dropper or suitable auto TX. OK there is still the live chassis issue but a hard wired mains lead to a hard wired pluggable RCD goes some way to improve safety.
