I see that specific poster's dialog in your response, only. His actual
postings get filtered autiomatically here.

The unit is unlikely to go up in flames, for good reasons. 

As a technician, you'd be advised to follow industry standards in
repair of any line-isolating assembly. One doesn't always know the

A hipot is not impossible to arrange, locally, if you don't have the
equipment yourself.
