Default Re: Ferrograph 4A: Restoration advice needed

Yes, that's about it, reduced tension for the reflected light trick, not sure if it will work on your Ferrograph but it might be worth a shot, nothing to lose.

I mainly used an engineered block, I have a feeling it came direct from the Sony factory as we had a close connection with them, I met one of the founders of Sony when I worked for them, Akio Morita, nice man, my boss at the main depot and sales office I worked at was Joseph H. Cohen, another nice man, he was one of the founders of Gendis (General Distributors) amongst other things Gendis took on Sony products and did a lot to promote the Sony name, some models of Sony transistor radios carried the Gendis logo (Google Sony Gendis)

Lawrence.
