[Mr Grumpy]

Thanks again all.

I've since tried connecting my cell phone to the phono input and was able to hear my music loud and clear. I actually connected the wires from my earphone output from the cell phone directly to the two leads at the photocell. So I guess this means I either have a bad photocell or I haven't adjusted it properly. I'm not going to worry about it right now, I'm working on a custom motor for the turntable.

I'm hoping the shortwave works when I bring the unit out of the basement (after I refinish the cabinet).

Will keep you posted
