Hi Ed!

 EV> When you were explaining the precautions of turning On a old
 EV> radio set that's hasn't been used for years, it made me think of
 EV> a phrase called " a smoke test".
 
Good news: none of my stuff has done that test!


 EV> Also AM means Amplitude Modulation not Audio Modulation. (pardon
 EV> me for acting like a Mister Know It All. It's only a act.).

Thank you for the correction: I didn't think it sounded right but was 
semi-visualizing the waveform and ....


 EV> After I married and was moving my things to the new place I
 EV> remember unsoldering the Ground Wire from the Fence Post and
 EV> learned the hard way that I"Should" had unplugged the Radio from
 EV> the A C. Line first.   OUCH!!! If ever I want to turn that SX-42
 EV> on again I will connect a Ground Wire to it first, then connect
 EV> the power cord to the outlet. Safety First.

Maybe the first step is take a look at the plug to check if polarized or
non-polarized.  Grounding a live chassis could make you misinterpret 
your Smoke Test!
