Persoanlly speaking .... Do I know anyone who was killed? no. Severely and permanently injured? Though not an accidental shock from an old radio, the answer is unfortunately yes ... And that is all I care to say about it as the story has a tragic ending.
My dad's turntable, as long as it is kept in the wood case and the plastic knobs remain affixed, I guess would be generally ok under normal use, unless someone touches those cartridge leads wile grounded. With no transformer it would be like sticking your finger into the socket from what I can tell. There is also another exposed metal part - the speed selector switch - though I am not certain if any of that mechanism can present a path to exposure. I do have the knob for it but I am missing the tension spring clip that keeps it on so I will rig something up.
