The bathroom has brand new tile along with the tub being re-finished.
The shocking only occured when they were immersed and touched the hot or cold taps... and the problem seemed to be worsening.
It's a very old 60A Murray fused load center... 4 120's, range and main, the "range " circuit feeding a GE sub-panel to feed new dryer and washer circuits... their range is an old gas stove... not even 110V for a timer... The problem was in #3 120V circuit (on the requisite 30A fuse BTW...#14 wire)
Dspark, by broken meter, do you mean the PoCo's or the one I tested with? I used two meters, my new Fluke T-5 1000, and my old Radio Shack TRMS... They measured roughly the same with the Fluke a little higher as one would expect from an averaging meter.
The Radio Shack TRMS would be suspect if used alone, due to age and performance rating... ("not for commercial use" it says...) but I've compared it to lineman's TRMS meters and "it's close enough for government work"... as the saying goes...
