Well I know the horn is still there as I have had the machine opened up I'm now a little concerned as to the validity of the spring drive motor which is in the machine right now.

Just not sure what other "improvements" have been made to the machine. I'm having a terrible time trying to fine an original tonearm for this machine too. Any help?

As mentioned earlier, the first place I would try for the tone arm and reproducer (and I am sure from past experiece many other Forum users would agree) is George Vollema. See the earlier post in this thread about that. Give him a call. He has one of the best collections of old parts in the country. His prices are reasonalbe and service is great.
The fact that somebody switched from a mechanical to an electric reproducer would not in and of itself make make me think that the motor was tinkered with.
