Well all I did was push the levers until it started turning. I must not have had it set right at first as I was not getting any shut off till I pushed the one lever forward and it braked the platter. I will study it further. Don't see a fork in either lever. I can send photos if you have an address for that. I had also decided to get a few spare tubes to stick down in the bottom. The 24's and 27's were easy and cheap, but the 45's are way up there. I had a bunch of 45's that I sold on ebay long before I got this radio, and am kicking myself. But so far the tubes in it are seemingly working good. My rebuilt pickup seems to be alot lower level than the radio, but unless that is due to a weak tube, I don't know if it can be improved. I did clean the change-over switch.
