Hi. Thanks for all the comments. There is no grid coupling cap, and the tone capacitor is in series with the tone control, all across the primary of the o/p transformer. I had actually forgotten about that. It’s a Hunts moldseal so maybe I will replace that one.
As for the cartridge, I have owned this player for a number of years and ISTR the volume is adequate. I’ll try and get some photos of the cartridge though, as I will need to identify it to be able to obtain styli. I think it is one of the flip over types.
