Is my radio supposed to electrocute me?
#4

No matter what you do you should never complete the circuit with two hands. Transformer or no transformer.
I agree with Terry, you are experiencing the leakage through the #30 cap. And these caps have the value which is about 6 times what they allow today for home equipment for Y-caps.
This one won't kill you but one day you might encounter a transformer with a breakdown and the outcome might be different.

One hand behind your back, always.

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.
