I did get the wooden changer base made, stained and varnished. The installation to the OEM changer base was done this morning. By using the wooden base arrangement, the changer vertical position in the cabinet is further lowered for better access to the changer for loading and removing records. This will be an additional advantage to the user. Here are some pictures:
   
   
In this picture you can see that with the changer door closed the bracket pointed to rises and is the bracket that interferes with the BSR upper portion of its base when I was trying to use the BSR base. That would have been less trouble to do, but unfortunately it did not work out because of the position of this part of the moving brackets on each side at the front of the OEM Philco changer base. Using a wooden base cut to be less than the distance between the two brackets allows the wooden base and changer when mounted to move freely with no interference.
   
This picture is taken from the front of the radio cabinet showing the position of the changer when the door is opened for access for adding or removing records.

I did change the 150K ohm load resistor in the radio chassis to a 47K ohm resistor to provide a better load for the preamp when records are being played.
