LOL@ MrFixr. I remember an encounter with my first tube radio.. I think I have posted this before. Back when I knew just enough to be dangerous some 55+ years ago as a young teenager, I found an old floor model radio at the curb. My friend and I dragged it to his house down in the cellar. We put the chassis and speaker on the table. My friend had his arm lying across the back of the speaker while at the same time reached for the bare metal volume control.it picked him up and threw him against the wall. I know now that he was in contact with either a wire on the output transformer or field coil. He was hit with a healthy 300V B+. Luckily he wasn’t hurt or worse. His mom heard the commotion and when she heard what happened we were barred from the basement and told to get rid of the radio. I continued on to this day with my interest in radio, my friend was cured and never bothered since. Good times!
