Hi Daniel,
I've just finished electrically restoring my 38-10 - working on the cabinet now. Here's what I know:
1. It's a shock absorber. If you check the schematic, you'll see that one side is grounded. There's a flexible, braided copper wire connecting the capacitor frame to the chassis.
2. It's not, but having a single ground point might affect the circuit behavior. Also having them will improve oscillator stability and keep the assembly in the correct position so it's centered in the cabinet hole. Although I have all 3 feet, they are a bit rotted so I'm looking for suggestions too
Here's what mine look like.
