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.
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!
