I would very much like to have your cable. I'm not quite shore about the switch, but I think I see it. I am not at home right know, but will do some thorough investigation on my own turntable when I get home.

At first I was planning to rewire the tonearm and replace all cables, thinking the old ones must have gone bad after all these years. In highfi magazines they all ways talk about rewiring old tonarms because as copper ages it will not give as good sound as it did when it was new. After 50 years what could the condition be? Silver plated copper wire is easy to find, but the original twirling grounding I don't know how to recreate. If you think this is a bad idea, I will keep the original.

I also bought plane copper cable for the loudspeaker. This looks much more straight forward. One thing is that the only replacement banana plugs I found are identical to these. I hope they will work, the old 1950's type is impossible to find. I shall have to use these for all connections, phono, loudspeaker, antenna and all, because only one of the original banana plugs are any good.
