As it turned out, when I tried using the changer the way I had mounted it was too high in the cabinet and raising the record support arm when loading records was all but impossible. The solution is to remove the bottom part of the plastic base of the changer and use a piece of 1/4 inch plywood to attach it to the original Philco rose colored base frame. That will allow use of the changer in a much more comfortable and accessible manner. It will have to wait a few days as the weather is rather raw and cold here now. I have to do that work in the barn and there is no heat there.

In the meantime I did take a picture of the changer in place when the unit was too tall. Here is that picture:
   
You can see the lower indented part of the base in the picture. That part can be removed by taking out some 1/4" hex head screws and that is where the plywood piece will go. That lowers the entire unit about 1.5 to 2 inches which is enough to make the unit much more accessible.
