They are at a floating ground potential. This TS-60 chassis is a hybrid design. The B+ supply uses an AC line voltage doubler (the cardboard tube cap and seleniums).

However, there is a 6.3 VAC transformer for the filament supply. So no worries about current surge or uneven heating of cold filaments
