This seems the original one.
Notice the GND as such does not exist, and the radio itself is transformerless type; it would be AC/DC were it not for the turntable motor. (won't work with DC). So the "Grounding" is connecting the tonearm shield to the chassis via the capacitor C26.
As the radio has "semi-hot" (consider it hot for safety purposes) chassis, you would probably feel a little pinching upon touching, unless you are in fully insulating boots or on wooden floor....let's just say I would not operate this type radios in a wet basement barefoot..
So, check the wiring according to the sch

You actually might be OK. Though I see someone was doing some non-factory soldering so should be re-checked.
