capacitor crossreference
#23

Hi Howard,
I was not sure of you got the photos or not, but I am happy you got it working.
If the switch gives you more trouble, and contact cleaner does not help, I would take it apart and clean the contacts manually. Just watch out for any springs or ball bearings falling out Icon_smile

One note to the others here about your white wire. It is supposed to be connected to a one terminal, terminal strip or tie point. That is the AC line which goes to the main switch. Then routed to the tone arm switch for the motor.
That tie point is held in place using the bakelite block hold down screw, but no connection electrically to the bakelite block.
The other side of the AC line goes to the top terminal on the block, which also is connected to the unswitched side of the motor.


If your block has only one cap inside, it is the code 123 as mine is, and the diagram is almost the same, but with an added cap to couple the RF to the line cord.
The code 122 has 2 line caps. On the code 123, there is no connection to the center terminal on the bakelite block.
For those who want to see, here are the shots I sent Howard.

Take care, and have fun! Icon_smile
Gary.
