Dan, it looks like there is a .015mfd going from one leg of the AC line to chassis ground. Be sure that has been replaced with a safety cap. If it has, that .015 is to remove some interference from the incoming line but also it can allow enough current to cause a slight spark when trying to attach an external ground wire but not enough to give you a shock when touching the chassis!
