Hello! I did put the project aside whilst collecting all of the bulbs (as a novice mistakenly does) whilst just now searching for the paper caps. I definitely do not want to get electrocuted, so I will have to investigate the isolation transformer in order to make it safe. If I cannot come around the corner of AC/DC radio electronic engineering 101 then I will revert to an AC only radio as suggested by Morzh.
