[Jukebox-list] SMC1 turntable decoration

[Jeremy Agema]

That's neat info on the serial numbers. I will have to give mine a check - 
just for fun.

Thanks for the info on the play order too.

Tonight I made the missing reflector mirror piece that rides on the mech 
(goes over the record). The original was chrome metal (from photos I have 
seen as mine is missing). I made mine from a recycled plastic mirror, looks 
very good.
