That voltage test? Is with the turntable disconnected from AC power and after the two 110vac plug prongs are shorted. No change to the vac reading.

Ok. Put a voltmeter in line with the ground lead that goes to the amplifier. Found a 3 to 3.6vAC voltage present.

Pulled the power supply fuse inside the turn table; no change.

Hum is still there…I get the feeling somethings’ shorted. But I also read in the repair manual about an “insulation test” that’s supposed to occur after every disassembly. So far, I’m still hunting what that might be.

Also interesting to see the conductors coming down the tone arm are un-insulated between each other and in full contact…

Hum completely stops. No audio from the turntable either.
