Thanks Richard for your reply, I have rewired some Hallicrafters with a hot chassis. I could do the same with this radio, didn't think about that until I read your comments. On some Hallicrafters I put an isolated transformer in the radio, worked great. The orignal cord on this Zenith is not frayed or cracked just really stiff.
Have to think about this, may add a fuse as well.
Thanks again.
