It is best to run any amplifier with a matched load. If you turn up the
volume, but not to the clipping point, there should not be any damage. But,
running any amplifier with no load is not something I would recommend.

Is it dangerous to the output transistors or something to run a radio
without speakers?

What if the volume control is kept at the minimum?

This wouldn't be a problem with a tube set iiuc, right?, but I'm not
so sure about transistors, if, say, the volume were accidentally
turned high. (No I didn't do that, but I was wondering how much
effort I should expend just so I can turn the set on and measure some
voltages.)

If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)
