The device should therefore be checked for regular use by a qualified electrical or radio-technology specialist beforehand. In particular with historical valve devices, there can be age-related electrical risks even when in functioning operation.
Please do not open the device or work on the electrical circuitry if you do not have the appropriate technical knowledge. There is a risk of electric shock.
