The filters? I would think that should be OK.

I've never been happy with the presence of high voltage on the VVR pots and the shaft poking through the panel. Anyone ever consider one of those ceramic high voltage shaft couplers (ham radio stuff like a Hammerlund FNC-36)? Just a notion.

Nothing on the pot

I do believe that the pot is quite safe if installed properly. I read the pot and there is nothing leaking on the pot or shaft. 0 volts.
