And then there is the Acoustical AM-II tuner which was powered by an 
umbilical from the preamp, but the B return/ground was carried only 
through the audio output cable with an RCA phono plug.  Pull the audio 
lead out of the preamp and you have full B+ between the tuner cahssis 
and ground, as well as between the shell of the RCA connecter and RCA 
socket, Ouch!
