The original power cord on the Polysix is only 2-wire. Has this been modified to use a 3-wire power cord or is everything original as far as you know? Maybe a photo of the transformer and spark killer area would be helpful.

One possible suspect could be the spark killer.
If I remember correctly this was also a problem with some Akai devices?

And yes, please be very careful.

In theory, if the grounding isn't damaged (and the house grounding is ok),
something like this should not be possible at all.
