Ok... quick updates:
- I have snaps of the coil, but they'll have to wait until Tuesday; large photos aren't dial-up friendly
- I've been de-rusting the chassis... a couple of spots that I want to take care of before they get bigger.
- First tests of the LP deck: motor works and runs smoothly. A bit of a hiccup with the auto- shutoff not catching, but some Li-grease and a spring adjustment later, and all is well. Can't test cartridge yet, as the tone-arm hinge was broken. The epoxy is now curing. There's not much stress at that point, so it should hold.
- Working on a restore log... watch for it soon
