Ron;

Thanks for the information on the stylus for the existing changer. I found one other person with a restoration thread for these who ran into this issue with the stylus loosing the tip. He epoxied a new stylus from another type of cartridge to the existing lever and it worked OK.

Today I did two things. I worked on cleaning the chassis for about 4 1/2 hours and managed to get rid of the mouse pee and poop deposits. There was some corrosion, but fortunately not too bad and most of that came off without too much difficulty. I also checked the audio output transformer and find that it is still good with continuity to both output tube's plate. That is always another concern about these radios which can be a problem to find as an OEM replacement. There are plenty of generic repair replacements, but my experience has been that none of them really sound as good as the OEM transformers.
   
I have not checked the tubes yet. I am resting after the hours spent on this. My cat is eyeing me and wanting some lap time after his lunch. It is time for both of us to have a nap.
