Make damn sure you run those oldies through a GFI. Otherwise, you will
be telling us about the horrible shock you received (assuming you
survive it).

I have an old Wen drill with a 2 speed gearbox, and it suddenly zapped
me good one day. One of the wires had worn through over time, and
touched the case. Lucky for me, it was variable speed, so the shock
wasn't on all at once. It still wasn't fun at all.

You have to be real careful with old metal cased power tools.
