"The person who rebuilt it previously had not wired the insulated cap in the first position which made the outside of the uninsulated can fully energized."
That's really dangerous. When I build a doubler supply, I always add clear heatshrink over the existing skin of the elevated cap. I do this even when the caps are mounted on a PCB or terminal strips under the chassis. It's just too easy to forget that the can isn't grounded.
