Correct fitting of fan & pulley to Collaro Conquest Motor?

Further to post #9 the Neutral lead is definitely connected to chassis, as I fitted a new mains lead. In the process I realised that EAR had used what, today, would be considered strange wiring colours, i.e. Blue between the 'load' side of the on/off switch to the 100 ohm surge limiting resistor inseries with the UY85 Anode, and Black from the 'load' side of the on/off switch and DC Negative. Furthermore, the 'live' lead on the motor winding is Black, whilst the other end, which supplies the valve heaters, is yellow. Even so, I double checked that I'd wired the blue, Neutral, wire of my new mains lead to the 'negative' - i.e. Amp Chassis side of the mains switch, and the brown lead to the motor/surge limiter side.

Although this has drifted away from the 'Correct Fitting' thread title, I will now add that, at last the 'Music maker' is working, including the autochanger, with which, in the end, I didn't have very much trouble, despite never having worked on a Collaro deck before. Getting the needle set-down point acceptably correct was a bit of a fiddle, not least because the turntable has to be removed after each adjustment, if it needs a further 'tweak', and it's so easy to 'over correct'. Electronically the player is working as well as I'd expect, though I still feel that the hum level is a bit high. Just needs a new stylus now ( BSR ST8 on order from 'gettheneedle.com') A BSR X5H had been fitted sometime before the player was brought to me, no doubt because the original Collaro Cartridge had failed.
