Kam- You ain't the only one !! I've been "bit" several times by old tube stuff-or at least got a nice "tingle" to let me know its alive, present & accounted for. I think lots of that old stuff was grounded to the case/chassis by rubber grommets, & 40-50 years later they've lost their insulating properties. I don't know much about the finer points of this stuff, but wonder if putting a modern 3-prong plug grounded to the chassis would help ? Any of you electrical wizards out there have any clues ? -Sandy G.
