On the S 38 there is ac leakage (normal) from B- to chassis ground because of the line filter cap (from the ac line to B-) and cap and it's parallel resistor connected from B- to chassis ground. If you look at the ant circuit the bottom end of the ant coils there connected back to the chassis through a cap which couples some ac to ant connection.
Trade your S 38 in for a set with a power transformer and you won't have these ground and shock issues. This a post war entree level set, for what it is it has a decent design BUT it's still a pig with lipstick.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
