For the mounting, a variation on this:

ought to work.

If you prefer to glue it you could always use hot-melt glue if you have a suitable glue gun. It's strong enough but can be removed at a later date and won't do any harm.
Anyway, you're a little way away from this so let's get it going first! Invest in a PP9 battery and get ready to wire the amplifier up.
Did you get any capacitors? If not let us know the values printed on them (the white tubular jobs) - I see a 50uF one. They will have a value (such as the 50uF mentioned) and a voltage - possibly 12v. Let us know what they are and I'm sure one of us will have some - very much smaller, but that's progress! Easier to replace them while it's in bits.
Let us know where you've got to.

I do indeed have a glue gun, so should work. I also have a ton of 9V/PP9 batteries so that shouldn't be a problem. Here's the uF and voltages from the white capacitors:

50 uF 12VDC
10uF 6VDC

Those appear to be the only two differen't ones. Progress wise, the only thing I've done is test the turntable which does indeed work.

I have used a few of those red and black cartridges and they sound very good, I use hot glue to secure them in place , I find its strong enough for normal use yet can be easily peeled off if needed.

Are you still working on this ?

Do you need photos showing the wiring so that you can re-assemble, or have you already done that ?

Sorry, didn't see this post. If possible some photos showing the wiring would be nice, and yes I'm still working on it.

In post #2 you were given a link to another thread for information on your player.

In post #10 I advised you to read through the thread linked to in post #2.

The thread linked to would have answered just about all the questions you have subsequently been asking.

You have either inadvertently or deliberately ignored that particular piece of advice!

Still hasn't arrived. No clue why. Will re-order it and hope for the best.

You say that a new Stylus has just arrived, but in an earlier Post you said you had ordered a cartridge - which is it?

Sorry I keep getting the two mixed up, it's a cartridge. 100% a cartridge, not a stylus. Sorry.

Now you have a new cartridge you should test to see if the amplifier/speaker are working. If you gently touch the cartridge you should hear a "rustling" noise in the speaker. If nothing, then the amplifier will need to be checked next.

But nothing is wired up, so would I need to connect the speaker to the mainboard or whatever it is before I can do that?
