There were hundreds of thousands (likely millions) of hot-chassis AA5 type sets produced over about a 30 year span. Were they inherently dangerous? Meh. Most people who used 'em managed to survive, LOL.
That said, these sets are now well beyond their expected service life and my have developed problems (missing rear covers, leaking capacitors, disintegrated chassis insulators) that should be addressed before putting them back in service.
If you're really concerned about safety, run 'em off an isolation transformer.
