That's a Very, very dangerous issue there Kirk.  To prevent your electrocution #57, please box that complete General Motors 4052 up and send it to me.  I have a very high dielectric lined safety vault I will store that radio in so no one will ever be harmed by it.  This will prevent your future electrocution and possible lawsuits from visitors.

Please pack well and double box.
