Most Pre war sets use a "Brute Force" high voltage supply as opposed to a Flyback supply.
The Flyback type is very low amperage, it'll bite you but seldom hurt you, the brute force supply is stepped by a transformer right off the line voltage , massive amperage and instant death if you happen to come in contact with it.
The B+ is dangerous in any set but still only 200-400 volts, it'll kill you too of course but it takes longer.
