With the grounded cable, I’m not measuring any AC anymore. Would this mean it could be an issue in my mains? My house was built about a hundred years ago...

Peter, this solves the grounding problem. But not the leakage which should not happen. (At least, not in that amount.) There is still a problem lurking inside there.

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.
