Hi Jon

I'll try to answer at least some of your questions:

2 - Is the bin light meant to be a 4 watt or 7 watt bulb?

Can't definitely answer this one. I've used 4 watt bulbs as replacements to be on the safe side.

What's interesting is that while both of my 42-1010 cabinets had the original Mazda lamps in them, neither bulb has any indication of the wattage.

4 - My beam of light phono needs extensive mechanical repair and rubber replacement beyond my level of expertise. Does anyone restore these on the mechanical level?

You might ask Gib at West-Tech Services, tell him I sent you.

I'll look him up. Thanks. I've also got an email into the guy who does the pickups, but haven't heard anything back. It's been a couple weeks. I'll try again this week.

Thanks for the tips. I love this forum.
