Hi again, I now have a 60's collaro changer that has 3 wires coming off of it, (red,yellow,and black).
My 56 collaro changer has 2 wires and it was easy to figure out how to plug it in to the 120 receptacle.
Which of the 2 wires on the 60's unit gets plugged in to the outlet.
I had the yellow and red plugged in and the motor ran even with the switch off. I tried plugging in the yellow and black and nearly fried the switch.
1960's collaro changer wiring
Electrically amplified phonographs or radio/phonographs and related components (approx. 1928-1990).
Disregard my post above. I found out the problem. Thanks.
PS the red and black wires get plugged in. The yellow wire was used for an amp. When the last record finished, the amp would shut-down also.

Best to get a multimeter and stop trying to burn the house down.
The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.

You got that right. I solved it. My Post is above yours.
We call that the "The Smoke Test". 
Vinyl is disease which attacks that area of the brain desiring digital recordings. Once you catch it, you are cured.
You got that right also. LOL.
