Picked this up for only $15. Was advertised as non-working

The culprit was the motor switch was completely shot, so I bypassed it

It had a Shure P-Mount to 1/2" adapter, so it probably had a Shure M92E on it. Dug out my spare carts, and decided to try my Audio-Technica Signet TK1E. Had to resolder the green lead back on

Had to improvise and found a piece of plastic that could hold the mounting screws. Tested it with a beater kiddie record. Needed to adjust the tonearm lift adjustment as it was preventing the tonearm from tracking properly.

What surprises me is, it tracks amazingly well. Records that would normally skip on my other TT's don't skip at all with this one. Tracks at 0.92g

This one will be hooked up to my PC for the time being

I am certain you can find and mount a replacement switch.
Even if it is a great turntable, that silver color would turn me off just like your broken switch. Apologies. I had that board, and just gave a look for it. I seem to have tossed it when I transferred spare parts to a cabinet with steel drawers. I would have simply mailed it to you.
