Default Re: Vintage radio safety

As a very general rule, I will not tolerate anything that can easily lead to accidental hazard i.e I won't operate (outside servicing) equipment with covers removed, damaged knobs (etc). Basically if it's a hazard to me or anyone else in a moment of absent mindedness I'll positively make sure it can't have power applied.

On the other side though, I would never re design elements of a set in my collection to conform to the whims of modern "elf 'n' safety" culture.
