The line caps are probably both shorted, if only one is shorted, it will put line voltage on the chassis, if both are shorted, in becomes a short across the line and will blow the bakelite block apart. When you replace the block, those week stations will come in stronger, as those caps provide the ground path for the antenna circuit.
