Default Re: Vintage radio safety

I agree, Russell. In the light of further experience over the centuries/decades/years (like mercury, phosphorus, smoking, asbestos) we have gained useful experience and avoided or controlled harmful substances.

My stance was just that we should avoid "tilting at windmills" - destroying flaky droppers or destroying or cannibalising AC/DC sets.

We have a great advantage here that the collective experience and knowledge of this forum is possibly the greatest on our planet, and certainly greater than any official body who may have vested interests.
Just my opinion; there is no "right" one, as many will agree or agree, but we are all individuals. An interesting and useful thread.
