If you like getting shocked if you are grounded and you touch the chassis. But it only hurts a little cause the current is low.

Read my previous post again, where I said:

Be aware, though, that the use of these will cause the chassis of your 87 to have some AC potential on it. The current, however, is minuscule.

As for the LOC terminal being used as a line bypass, yes, it could have served this function if the LOC terminal was grounded, and if the AC cord was plugged in so that the hot side of the line was in contact with the other end of the capacitor connected to the LOC terminal.

But this was not the intended purpose of this terminal; it was intended to allow the user to use the AC line as a makeshift antenna by connecting the ANT and LOC terminals together. Again, it would only work if the AC line was plugged in so that the hot side was in contact with that capacitor, the other end of which was connected to the LOC terminal.
