41-608 BEAM OF LIGHT ISSUES WITH PHOTO CELL ISSUES
#1

I recently repaired a 41-608 BOL changer and mechanically it works fine now, the final issue is the photo cell. My tone arm lights, I have it connected to the transformer and to the phono as it is supposed to be, but I get no volume. I adjusted the screw which moves the beam on the cell, still nothing. How can I test the cell and does anyone know the voltage of that cell as I have seen some small cells for sale on the internet and was thinking of buying one to try to substitute it. Since I have the original needle, the arm lights, does it make sense to do this or will it need more repairs than just the cell to get good volume and clarity? Any comments or suggestions appreiciated. I know I can send it to Westech for a rebuild, I like to try to repair myself if I can.
