I agree.

The major health risks associated with boatanchor gear are electric 
shock,  RF burns and the possibility of injury related to sheer weight 
of the rigs. 

In the '60's there was concern that certain models of TV sets were a 
potential x-ray hazard.  This derived from the HV supply for the picture 
tube.
