Hi Jon

I'll try to answer at least some of your questions:

1 - Is the bass control supposed to operate counter-intuituve to how modern controls operate? In my case, turning the knob full counter-clockwise produces the most bass.

I don't have my 42-1011 anymore, but I *think* the bass control did indeed operate "backwards" to what you would normally expect.

2 - Is the bin light meant to be a 4 watt or 7 watt bulb?

Can't definitely answer this one. I've used 4 watt bulbs as replacements to be on the safe side.

3 - Was the speaker cable attached anywhere to the cabinet, or left floating between the chassis and speaker?

Left floating.

4 - My beam of light phono needs extensive mechanical repair and rubber replacement beyond my level of expertise. Does anyone restore these on the mechanical level?

You might ask Gib at West-Tech Services, tell him I sent you. Icon_smile
