Hi Forest, et. al.

Back at it after 6 weeks off (out of town.)  The new turntable wheels came in from V-M and work great!  That's the good news.

The bad news is the OSC coil driving the BoL lamp judt doesn't work.  Adjusting the pot didn't do anything.  I think I'll simply go the rectified filament voltage route if others have had good success with it.  Anyone have a simple schematic for what I need?  Noise problems?  The lamp seems to work OK.  It looked darn bright when I used a 9 V battery.  I have no idea what it is rated for.

Also, the photo cell barely puts out .2VDC when I light the lamp with a nine-volt battery.  I had 3 ea 1.25 rechargeable AA batteries in series and had to crank up the volume to barely hear it.  So the cell will need replacing.  Anyone have any updated information on what to use and how to mount?  Any guidance would be appreciated.

Regards,
Gary
