Last post on this for now unless any further developments, have rigged the motor up to correct turntable speed and given the platter and idler some lube & that side of things has been literally blasting out Johnny Cash for the last hour or so with plenty of volume.

Only criticism of the sound I have is a lack of bass, but that could well be down to a wrong cap value in the tone control circuit or an effect of the subbed OPT "solution". Haven't managed to get a decent wire down the garden this evening but even with the solder lash up I'm getting Russian, German, French, Indian? and the usual CRI stations on 31m & some even quite clear all things considered. The switches and pots will definitely need cleaning & it'd benefit from an alignment which might well wake up MW and 19/16 metres which are devoid of much at all apart from Absolute radio & radio Stoke on about 200 metres.
