The spark probably came from that 1-milli farad cap being charged and discharging through the fuse.

Quoted from seeburg220:

Is there a way to test a capacitor? I was just going to replace it, along with the rectifier, but I'm having trouble finding an exact match on the cap.

A really good multi-meter will have a cap measuring setting. Best way to measure the cap would be to disconnect it from the rest of the circuit. With that cap being a 200V electrical capacitor, unless you see burn marks or the package is deformed, it's probably OK.
