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!

Yes, turn it off immediately and deposit in the nearest dumpster.

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
