Default Re: Vintage Sears Silvertone radio safety question

Thanks Guys!

I have bought an autotransformer Damn.
Basically the only thing I am worried about is the chassis screws at the bottom of the case having the potential to be live and conductive even when the case is on.

Judging by your replies it will seem somewhat safe with a fused transformer and a RCD.
Can anyone explain what a floating B- line chassis is layman terms?

Thanks

Thanks again Dave given me piece of mind. All the knobs are there but say if one was to fall off would the metal sheath underneath be live ?
