Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

No, line-to-chassis capacitors do this - they MIGHT be leaky, but even if not they can pass some current to the chassis. Flip the AC plug, may go away. Even better, find 'em and replace with a modern SAFETY APPROVED "Y" capacitor - .01 or .015 uF (highest value allowed by current safety standards).
