[Mr Grumpy]

I just recently got my Beam of Light going in my 41-608. I'm going to experiment with a few other photo cells to see if they can improve the clarity of the sound as it is a bit tinny and garbled. I read that someone used RTV silicone sealant to replace the rubber bushings holding the needle bar, I tried it but had a hard time lining the bar up correctly while the sealant hardened. I also tried cutting thin strips from a latex glove and wrapped it several times around the bar and then crazy glued the last bit. This worked better than the sealant but I probably could have used more windings as the mirror jumped around a bit too much. I also fully cleaned and lubed the changer to make sure there was no drag on the needle bar.

I'm going to try and build a new needle and mirror assembly from scratch. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Please keep us posted as to your results, I'd love to know what works for you!
