Ron, Terry thanks for the input. Turns out, one of the problems was the wire from the oscillator to the AC line was literally hanging on by a thread, and the record player I was using has weak cartridge. I tried using a MP3 player through output transformer and was able to pick up the signal from across my shop clearly. Once I get the original cartridge rebuild, it will be fun to show my kids about their grandparents "MP3" player.

Thanks
