Philco 51 line to ground capacitor
#2

Cody, if only one side of the transformer primary has a line capacitor, the voltage from the chassis to ground will read either zero or line voltage, depending on which way the plug is inserted in the receptacle. If you add a capacitor to the other side of the transformer primary, the chassis voltage to ground will read one half the line voltage no mater which way the plug is turned. Either way the current available is very low and there is no danger.
