Successful. Patient is working fine, so far. Tuner is still settling in, 3 hours after spraying with CRC QD Non Residue Electronics cleaner. AM is still scratchy in lower 1/2 of the range (I'm pretty sure I know why too).
The only grafting to be had was the wiring of the FONOLITE. On the 510 the fonolite is connected right at the amp, along with the pilot. On the 610, it's paralleled after the pilot. (More solder!) Other than that it's a plug and play proposition, as we thought it might be. Even the mounts, holes, etc. lined up.
For anyone with a ST-510 (phono only) who wants to put some AM/FM in one, get a head unit from a "NO LONGER FIT FOR CONSUMPTION" ST-610cabinet. Make sure it's a ST-610. This has a AM/FM tuner, phono inputs, and an Aux in stereo. Plus an input for "B" channel tuner. (Simulcast from another station? which outputs on "RADIO"
Your Selections:
1. AM outputs both Channels in MONO
2. FM outputs both Channels in MONO
3. RADIO outputs from Tuner thru "A" Channel, "B" channel input to "B" OUTPUT. So you need a separate tuner for stereo.
4. PHONO MONO
5. PHONO STEREO
6. AUX STEREO
It's a direct part for part exchange. The only thing you'll have left over from the original swap is the fonolite wires wihich will be tied in to the supply at the pilot light.
