Hi.

My fiance got a rather nasty surprise Friday morning, when her Sony Dream 
Machine delivered a rather severe electrical shock when she went to turn 
the alarm off.  She said that it made a loud bang and shefelt a jolt of 
electricity on her finger shooting up her arm.  She couldn't get the 
feeling back in that finger for a good part of that morning, and said that 
her arm ached for the rest of that day.  Sounds like she somehow got a hold 
of live 120 volts, and luckily wasn't terribly well grounded when she did it.

Anyway, we are trying to figure out whether the radio was at fault or 
whether there is something wrong with that outlet.  I loaned her an RCA 
talking clock radio that I have and brought the Sony back over here, but 
haven't as yet figured out how I'm going to evaluate what went wrong.

My first question is whether or not anyone has heard of anything like this 
happening with that model of radio, and is there anything out there with a 
radio and CD player that is equivalent or better, if we determine that this 
unit is no longer fit for use?
