| :The so called dim bulb tester offers no isolation and is not by nay stretch of the imagination a substitute for an isolation transformer. It is only a way to show whether or not the radio is drawing excessive current. I'm glad that point was made. I later realised that my post was poorly worded. Consider me severely whacked on the knuckles. My point, poorly made though it was, is that if the light IS bright, a short to ground could very likely be the cause. Thanks for clearing that up.
You still need an isolation transformer.

::I hope you have an isolation transformer. If not you are playing a dangerous game. Even with a "floating" ground, there still exists a potential for a lethal shock. If you don't have a transformer, you might try the "Light Bulb" tester. Simply insert a lamp fixture in series with an extension cord. Use a 60 watt bulb. If the light stays dim, proceed. If the light is bright-stop! You either have a problem in the power supply, or a short to ground.
