[ARC5] ARC-2 Information

[Scott Robinson]

Actually, quite a  few AC-DC radios DID have their chassis wired to one 
side of the line Some mid-30s examples are a horror--easily touched live 
parts. Late _mid-fifties and on (Zenith, in particular), did a very good 
job isolating the chassis in their AM-FM table radios.

Since most small TVs had metal cases, I bet they are isolated.
