Update on the Brunswick. Got all the tubes together finally. I subbed an 11-20 ballast for the non-existant D-110 (got it from playthings of the past). It has a few issues but is working. The turntable works, the pick-up is working but weak. I get a loud hum when I switch to "record" from "radio". It took me a while to get the radio working. The first 24 tube (right side looking in) would not light up at first, then finally did after some cleaning of the pins. I also discovered that while the tuning dial moves when the knob is turned, the tuning capacitor plates do not, so I had to tune it by hand. Volume control for the radio has one setting...loud. Hey, at least it works!
