Great Eric. Any time you work with an AC/DC radio with a hot chassis your at risk of hooking other test equipment running off of A/C. This is not to mention touching the chassis with a finger and having a decent ground on your body like standing on a concrete floor bear feet or having your other hand on something metal. Just be really careful. If you wish to work on these radios, please get an isolation transformer for your safety and that of your A/C powered test equipment. I had to go change my shorts after hooking up my signal generator to an AC/DC radio. Also had to reset the circuit breaker to my shop. I immediately went out and a nice ARF person sent me an isolation transformer for the cost of shipping.
