It plays very well! It is almost finished, but I need to find time to obtain a turntable belt.

It played the first time I tried it after replaceing the capacitors and many resistirs. It was lots of work to replace the dial light wires and some other wires which were sticky (some sort of strange breakdown of the plastic)
