BTW, this is true hot chassis radio: the chassis is connected to an AC IN pin through overall 150 Ohms of resistance. And, notice, in Europe the plugs were not polarized (well, so were they not in the old US), but in addition it is 220V.
So everything is insulated. But. The metal speaker cover/shield is connected to the chassis via 5,000 pF cap.
While that will not give you any serious jolt, one will feel it if touching it while standing barefoot imn a wet basement or ground.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
