MrFixr55 - I'll try that separate ground rod as soon as possible.  I don't have a bathroom or pipes in the shed. I have a DENON DP-DJ151 with a Stanton 680 HIFI cartridge with 3 mV output. Turntable has a digital out (orange RCA), a phono/line switch and 2 left/right RCA audio outs.

I was looking at signal generators for alignment on Amazon. Was trying to get something in the $100-150 range, with the understanding I might have to get an attenuator for the output separately.  When you try to review on different forums, most hobbyist opt for the expensive stuff.   I'm not a collector, just trying to fix my father's radio.  Might have another smaller bakelite Emerson that was my sister's, but won't be doing several radios. Maybe 2-3.

Thanks for the advice. Will do.
