Is my radio supposed to electrocute me?
#1

A came across a non-working 37-62 a couple weeks ago. I replaced all the caps, most of the resistors, the way out of tolerance volume pot, a bad 6A8, and a pile of dry rotted wire....and lo and behold the thing works.
The thing is, when I reached to turn on the light over my work bench....with my hand on the chassis, I touched the metal switch box and got lightly zapped. The switch is on the same run with the receptacle that it was plugged in to. When I measure from the chassis to the conduit and I get 60v.
I know this is a dumb question but, is this normal? Thanks in advance.
