Dangerous to poke around inside when plugged in, but quite safe unplugged (unlike say an old TV).

Many consumer appliances are also still unisolated inside, it saves cost and you are unlikely to be touching anything inside if you don't know what you're doing (hence the usual "do not open" warnings on them.)

#5As a kid, I acquired a few of these from my grandparents' farm. At some level it struck me as odd that they shared so many common features and details. It was many years before finally hearing about the "All American 5" and then everything made sense.

Yeah, do not attempt to use. High voltage inside. Better to buy any new low voltage piece of shit. Throw this all away. Be very afraid of this old stuff. Hmmm....your Tesla, runs on 3.7V LiIon...safe.
