Thank you, J.R.! 1. Yes, it works but I have to give it a little push to get it turning. Speed was checked by a repair man. 2. I can take a picture but it's going to take at least a few days. 3. As I look at the turntable with the arm on the right the switch is on the left toward me, a simple off/on switch. Other description: It has two belts and moving the larger one to a different groove on the spool changes the speed to 45 or 33. Sure cartridge. The weight on the end of the arm looks like brass. The serial number on the botton begins with XA, which I now realize must be the model. Is that the entire model number? Joanna
