This done, and bearing in mind the numerous adjustments made, the pickup arm lowering limit needed checking and as suspected it was falling below the level of the lower ridges on the platter....disastrous for the stylus should the detector arm fail and allow a drop onto a platter with no disc......easy adjustment which did have to out followed by setting the stylus force for the SP15 which should be 1.0 gram. The dial was set around 1.25 and sure enough my scale did read above 1.25g....I struggled to get a good image of these, set it to 1.0g and to be fair the scale on the pickup was very close to the 1.0g setting.....
This done I had to have a listen........all sounds and looks healthy.

 
Pulley arrived today along with the control panel lamps....should have taken a pic of the pulley in place, it can just be seen to the left of the control panel pic ;¬)

 
All reassembled and the hood in place....sounds as good as when it was new! all four now complete.....hopefully this thread has entertained and maybe even helped others along the way.
