[ARC5] Hallicrafters S-38 is dangerous

[DSP3]

I despise those AC/DC sets, with respect to the shock hazard.  
Fortunately, I came across a larder of small, 1 amp true isolation 
transformers a while back.  Along with an inrush limiter, they generally 
do the trick...

I was taken to task from folks on this terminology so I am using it as I was told was proper.  "case" or cabinet is the metal box.Pull up a schematic for the the s-38 and you will see a cap that goes between the standard conical ground symbol to the fork which represents the case.I think there is one that goes from the antenna ground terminal to the B- chassis as well. Both have a very good potential to "light you up".
