Yep, OK.

The concern I would have about the technique is what happens if the repair unravels ? Would a loose end be accessible to the user ?

WRT vintage equipment, would it be possible for a loose element to come into contact with an unearthed casing ?

It maybe that the equipment dosen't comply to modern safety standards to start with, but if an accident happens as a result of a repair you have done, liability would likley fall to you.
