That set does not have a hot chassis! It uses a floating B- line and the only connection to the chassis is through a .2mfd capacitor.
The ground or earth symbol is the only connections to the chassis.

Yes a floating HT-ve line was implied in my post, for the avoidance of any doubt the in that post was in reference to a lot of British designs.
