Hello Bruce, I think on some of the older sonys, they had a bulletin for sparking on the AC plug when plugging it in. The fix in short, to limit the inrush current, was to remove jumpers going (say) from the AC line to the bridge. (1 ea. on both sides of the AC line) It said to use .1 Ohm resistors, and had locations in the board for them, but had wire jumpers installed. Not saying it's a cure, but was just a thought.
