Anorak on here.

On the back of the Audio Baton, there was a power output. A four pin
socket with HT and heater volts. IIRC the socket was actually a battery
connector from the days of valve portable radios, and although a socket,
the female connectors were crimped to the fibre plate, so you could touch
them. And DMT did. ;-) Being across the power supply, they were likely
still 'live' for a short time after powering the unit down.  

It wasn't faulty as such. Just badly designed by today's standards.
