Hi Gary,
You have half the battle won already your photo cell is good if you can get two volts out of it and bulb is good. My bulb was bad and not replaceable so I used a #55 bulb and needed 6 volts for it so I rectified filament voltage to lite it my sell only put out .1 volt so I used a toy solar cell it puts out .9 volts have to have volume at max to get good sound, I would like to get a better pick up cell. Check phono switch and Osc coil for continuity and adjust control. My needle was missing had to solder on new one didn’t change rubber mounting it seemed to work ok.
