//  Surely.  So what kind of a schmo is going to slide his hand down into 
the HV supply?  With part of the hand touching gnd, loosing part of a 
finger would be the likely result.   Even with the case on, the SB-220 is 
not fool-proof because it is possible to insert a piece of 22-gauge 
insulated wire through the top and touch either anode.  

Cheers, Joe
