RE: Hot electrically

I've seen this, esp after PT repairs. Check any circuit boards for hot contacts to ground. Like wires poking through the boards.

I'm not sure if your unit has a ground-hum switch with a built-in "death-cap." If so, you may want to go to 3-prong outlet wiring with permanent green wire grounded to chassis. Remove the hum switch and death cap from circuit... at least electrically.
