Ron,
Yes it has a dummy plug in the TCC. Since the default speed was 33, I'm
assuming it had to have a different gear set, as the numbers on the
mechanism match-up for a LPC480. Doesn't this also make the scan speed
incorrect, the mechanism jerks around quite a bit. The LPC's scanned at 33
and only bumped up to 45 with the clamp switch actuated do to the record
center hole size. 
Also have a bad add solenoid in the APU. Kyle is probably correct finding
another LPC with the hardware I need will be a less costly route than going
after individual parts.
Thanks
Jeff Dieterle

Jeff,
  Look at the "autospeed jack" on the TCC. If the unit was converted, it
needs a "dummy plug" in that position. Gears are the same on all 45rpm mechs
from the K and L models up. I have rebuilt, and tested (on the Seeburg test
jig), autospeeds available. Contact me off list if you are interested.

  Just picked up a nice LPC480, the speed control module is missing and the
box is marked in several places 45rpm only. The number on the tormat checks
out as the correct one for a 480 and the record clamp has the speed changing
switch so I'm taking it that this is the correct mechanism with a gear set
to up the speed to 45rpm. This box still even has the ASC in it. Is the
correct gear set available or will I have to scrounge up another mechanism.
Was the gear change set an oem or after-market part? 
These boxes don't have a lot of visual appeal, but I'm still fascinated by
the scanning lights and gong gizmo along with the option to customize the
front light box and full album play on 33's in stereo.
