With the help of Don Lindsley, an ex-Philco VKer, I changed my discriminator transformer caps (again) to the values he noted and it sounds great, without the crackles.

Only issue remaining is the VM record changer, which plays quite well with a new cartridge but is acting strange as it cycles.
Before all this, I took the slider bar out, cleaned and "lubri-plated" just about anything that moves like any other V-M changer. Pretty routine but I may have missed something.
These changers are pretty complex in comparison to some others, namely RCA and Mags- Collaros.
Upon starting, the record drops and after the tonearm sits in the start groove, then the switch just clicks off. With the stack arm clicked to the right for continuous play, there is no cycling at the end of the record.

I may just have to sell it as-is, a great manual player, Im getting too many consoles and paying jobs in to keep tinkering on this one. Its good to go.
