    This unit actually sounds better than the solid state side firing speakers Magnavox you refurbed later in your video postings. I wonder what a unit like this would sound with speaker upgrades (an air suspension woofer with a tweeter included to give better clarity; as well as a magentic cartridge (you'd need a pre amp for that). I'm betting the sound would be about 30 to 50% better (and with the correct stylus balancing, a whole lot easier on your records). Nicely done. It's hard where I live to find these units without the rexine being completely trashed.

    My one sounds really nice with the standard pickups, against my Korean 2016 5420 T it is very good, I used it with a jazz band and a swing band recently and it really has a nice clear sound, maybe upgrade the pots and switches to TV Jones but I'm happy with mine. Also I may change the machines to Wilkinson WJ45's look like Kluson ones and work nicely, put them on my Korean one.

    I put a Bigsby B6C on my one and also strap locks and a Vanson roller saddle ti=unamatic, be aware the strap button posts into the wood of the guitar are LEFT HAND threads unlike the Korean and Japan Gretsches which use Right hand 'normal' threads on the post screws into the body.

    The tape mechanism might be the same as the realistic TR-801. On the backside of the motor between the motor and the back wood panel is a u shaped bracket with a circuit board behind the bracket, small board like an inch by inch. You have to remove the u shaped bracket and There’s a speed adjust pot on the circuit board.

      @ thats a nice unit, hope you can get it figured out. Btw, on the plastic bracket for the Craig. On my tr-802 I used an xacto knife to put small vertical slots(just enough to let wire sit down into, not to deep) on all 4 corners of the head bracket, then wrapped thin wire around the screw on top, and then down and around the bracket back to the screw on the top. Used superglue on the wire at the corners to keep it in place in the cut slots.

    Many times the tuning issues with that vibrola is at the nut. Filing a slight angle at the back of the nut toward each stings tuner post helps quite a bit. Especially the D and G strings because they break at a more extreme angle behind the nut then the other strings. They don't return to pitch if they are binding. Keeping the nut slots lubed at each string change works well, too.
