To make such a set as safe as possible without major redesign, I would recommend the following:
Replace the interlock and cord with a polarized type.
Move the power switch to the hot side of the line.
Directly ground the neutral side of the line to the chassis.
Delete C85.
Replace C84 with a safety rated (X1Y2) ceramic cap.

Should that capacitor have the same capacitance as the original or just anyy capacitance.
