Would this be one I could use for the snake? I don't think it has circuit boards but I can't really tell.

So the snake would touch the chassis and an above chassis B+ post. I see B+ a lot. I wish I knew what a B+ post was. Does it have another name?
Thanks for the info!

Most companies had circuit boards then which may have buged the snake enough to keep the critter safe (pokey test points and lots of small above chassis components), but someting like a Zenith or a Packerd Bell which had no circuit boards....Many of these 100% hand wired sets by that time used chassis mount terminal strips that could be accessed above chassis (Zenith REALLY liked useing these) often placing several B+ terminals easily touchable above chassis where that snake could comfortably get to them.
