What I meant was If I had known of this forum with all the expertise I would have known what I was getting into.. especially 1942 Radios with all their problems. Knowing this now I will be more prepared when I get something else.

PS The question still stands: Is that why we are missing some parts.

Because we have changers that have the "modified" motor and drive wheel kit installed. The original motor has a different motor and a "bell" drive wheel that turns the platen.

The modified motor and idler wheel kit didn't have anything to do with the Beam of Light pickup, as far as I've heard the kit was just to eliminate the unreliable two speed feature. However the BOL pickup used a mirror and a selenium photocell so something may have gone wrong with the photocell, but who knows what really happened?
