I'm late to this party, I know, but had to add my compliments to the others'. Turned out beautifully. I do think it's too bad that you tossed the speakers and turntable, though. That looks like a Voice of Music 1297 record changer, which was -- and is -- an excellent piece of equipment. I have one that came with a Zenith Micro-Touch 2G tonearm, and it's become my main vinyl player. Like yours, it came from a console stereo; I bought it online, then ordered what I needed to clean and recondition it from thevoiceofmusic.com -- including an elegant poplar base and new dustcover. V-M's made-in-USA turntables can be found in a lot of the old consoles; another brand worth saving is the UK-built Collaro, later bought by Magnavox. Both are sturdy, reliable, and easy on LPs.
