Thanks, I had emailed him with photos and he replied, but did not give any instructions on removal. It is a horseshoe type magnet, I guess. I took that bolt out but there was not much slack in the wires, and I did not know how they were connected to the pickup, so I sure didn't yank on it. I took the cover off the pickup itself, and could see two conns. behind the magnet. At least there seems to be continuity thru the coil. If he can make the phono work as good as the radio, I will be happy. Saw a 96 radio chassis for sale on ebay yesterday, but it is not real clean and original looking(above the chassis) like mine. Rx. is great. Maybe someone at some time recapped, or replaced the block, etc, but I can't tell and am afraid to tear into it as long as it works! In process of gathering tube spares now. Anyone have production figures on this?
