Well, 

I finally received my new Piezo elements and went to the shop to play. It was a magnetic cart so I cut out the magnetic portion and just wired in the element into the rebuilt cart and directly to the tone arm.
She doesn't have the best volume but she is playing nice. Once I permanently adhere everything in the cart then it should provide more vibration to the needle.
I used Alan's tutorials to rebuild it and just subbed the Piezo for the crystal.


The player was completely dismantled, degreased, regreased, rebuilt, and is lookin good!
