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 ?

A floating B- means the B- is not directly tied to the chassis, but is connected through an isolating capacitor, a .2mfd. The chassis shouldn't be live even when using an auto-transformer!
