Where does the liability begin & end if you should sell one of these

project for the under employed law profession, to me anyway.

The same liability you have with any device-microwave oven or light
bulb-someone could abuse and possibly shock themselves with. Dead is
dead, and if it plugs into AC distribution voltage anywhere in the
world-100VAC is the lowest, in Japan-it can kill you. There's no magic
number a 6550 is under and an 813 over-the 400 volt B+ will kill you,
so will 1200. and the 1200 might kick you clear or burn the contacting
digit off whereas the 400 just might lock you up and fry you. Might,
might, might. If you are going to sell anything in the USA you could
wind up in court, but you will anyway, so do it right.

Dump a beer in there, there's going to be fireworks. But very few of
these things are going to be gigging at Bob's Country Bunker-bass
players don't need 500 watt amps anyway, they need the same amps and
efficient horn loaded speakers.

Thankyou for your carefully considered response.
Take it along with you when you try to buy liability insurance.
