RE: FALSE SOLUTION...the problem persists, but with new clues...

It wasn't the ground wire, like I thought.

New data:

- Found it only howls with the balance control either centered, or only on the right channel - BUT it comes through BOTH speakers.
- Reversed turntable leads, now it only howls when the balance is either centered, or on the left channel - but comes through BOTH speakers.

So this tells me it's in the turntable or turntable wire, which is soldered to the TT internally.

I tried multiple cartridges, MM and MC, step-up-transformer or internal MC preamp. I unhooked all other devices, amd turned the integrated amp on its side so no wires are crossing. All with the same results.

Now back to my tinkering...
