so, i suppose, there ya have it. if ya wanna work on yer radio, then by all means do it. just be careful and know that there is a possibility you could get a nasty shock. i can't imagine anybody not at least hooking the radio up to a bench power supply and testing the thing to see what the problem might be. hence, the word of caution.
that's all it was. a word of caution. not meant to cause controversy, or differences of opinion. the point is, 1 person that i knew,did in fact die while messing with an am tube type radio. what did it, i ain't sure, and don't wanna find out.
what i DO want if for all of us to expire at a very ripe old age.
like i wrote on a run report several years ago. "cause of death: too much birthday cake"
