A super result, it's now doing what it says on the Tin.
But I'm still worried about that very dodgy, drooping, ancient Acos mono cartridge set to 78 on those vinyls.

Never fear Edward - my next job is to rewire the tone arm and fit a new cart. There's no stylus in that cart and they are just my test records

That's fantastic! Thank you for taking the time and trouble to document your work so thoroughly. I am sure anyone having problems with the same changer in future is going to find it very useful.
