Yes that's right, my 41-608 is alive thanks to all that helped out in my introduction thread and to everyone who's contributed in the various threads on this wonderful phorum. The broadcast band works perfectly, sound is great - no static, I'm assuming the SW band isn't picking up anything because I don't have an external antenna and the radio's currently in my basement.

Now the nitty gritty part, getting the phono working.
The Motor was not turning at all so I completely dismantled, cleaned, greased and oiled it and at least got it moving, however it is far too weak even when removed from the chassis and spinning without load on my bench. I was able to align the beam of light head, the stylus seems to be picking up the sound from the record but nothing is coming out of the speaker.

I'm concerned about trying to get a motor for it, or getting the beam of light rebuilt only to find that there's some other issue to be dealt with. I'm looking for some advice as to how I should proceed, if at all. I don't have a lot of money invested in this set yet but don't want to spend too much on it either.

Thanks
