Done!

I took a video but have not uploaded it to Photobucket and the site is not working. The video stinks anyway. The player was too close to the radio and there was too much interference...
I rebuilt everything and used a 3Volt cart I had to test it. 
I am really liking it. I will try to rebuild the original cart or add a counter spring..

EDIT** Youtube account opened and video here!
