Yes, reversal of the plug should move the chassis to the same potential
as the neutral lead, which may or may not be at zero volts depending on
how much current is flowing to other devices on the same branch circuit.
That voltage should, though, be very low.

If one does feel a shock, reversing the AC line plug should eliminate
the problem, shouldn't it?? In the S-38B this current is below 5mA which
is the threshold of the GFCI outlet.

On mine, the set screws are almost flush with the surface of the knob
flutes when tightened. Since those set screws are connected to the
chassis, meaning a metal shaft, it might be possible to receive a shock
by pressing your finger tightly on the set screw hole.
I don't plan to test that and I have no idea whether or not the screws
are the originals or some longer ones that someone used sometime in the
past.

I have an S-38 awaiting rebuild. It does have aluminum shafts.
