Others might know more about this than me, since I've only
worked on the 78 record changer, but in addition you're
looking at the flywheel and clamping disk, the ramp, the
tone arm, the record rack and possibly the cam that actuates
the lift arm (that one I'm not sure about).

I'd hate to discourage anyone from restoring an M100-A
back to 78 play because the 45 version is a pale reflection
of the original.  It really is a spectacular record changer
to watch in action.  But, a lot is involved in the conversion
and of course most operators threw out the 78 parts they
removed, so getting all the required pieces will take some
detective work.
