Grounding my Silvertone


I rescued a Sears Silvertone stereo console phonograph model 1270 from the dump.  With a new needle, it is playing very well.  After listing for about an hour, I felt current on my finger tips when touching the player in various places.  The base also felt hot.   

Any suggestions for how to make this record player safe?  

Thank you!

Hello silvertonegirl,

    I just wanted to apologize for my initial post.  It was a spur of the moment post and I now regret it because 1. It wasn't as funny as I first thought, and 2. You seem like a nice person that was just excited to rescue a still functional music system.
     I'm glad you're getting the help you need and that you're enjoying your rescued stereo.

Sorry,
 Tim

The the tube amp inside that model is likely a transformer-less design. If you want to keep it running for the long term I would find a shop that can install an isolation transformer and a 3 prong power cord. It's likely to cost $100+, but for a vintage piece isn't necessarily a waste. 

I should have added, if you're handy with electrical stuff, you can do it yourself for ~$30-50 and 30 minutes of time . . .
