Default Re: EAR De-Luxe Record Player

For some reason these players used two rectifiers in a parallel as seen in the thread linked to by Lawrence above.

In view of the sparking I'd be inclined to replace both with a single 1N4007 diode and a series resistor.

After checking for problems downstream of course!
