jcassity;
It is always worth a try to see if the vanes can be spread just enough to stop the shorting out that happens when they touch. If they cannot, you likely have not made it any worse than it was to begin with. I was lucky that there were some same-model chassis on the auction website, but fortunately I was able to correct this one.
The BSR-310 changer I ordered for this unit arrived today. I think the plastic changer base and changer will both fit into the space available without having to make a custom mounting board for the changer. Measurements seem to indicate the plastic base will fit between the two steel brackets the original changer was mounted to. I will be checking to see. The changer came with a Shure magnetic cartridge. I don't know if there is enough gain in the audio stages here without having to add a preamp. If not, I might look for a ceramic cartridge replacement.
