PHONOGRAPH CERAMIC AND CRYSTAL CARTRIDGES

One way or another, you can almost certainly determine which cartridge is needed by using the charts below. The charts are for your reference only. Many replacements are not in production and are no longer in stock. Keep in mind it will take a few minutes to load this file, you are welcome to print it out for future reference. Remember that it is NOT vital that the replacement be an exact, look alike duplicate of what was in the machine (of course, if you wish to obtain a new cartridge from us, we will need to match exactly to your cartridge model number) If we do not have an exact match to your cartridge model number, you would need to send us your cartridge for identification and at no cost we will check your cartridge to make sure it is operable or you may just need a new needle, or we can determine a possible substitute replacement cartridge if necessary. In some instances we are able to repair a defective cartridge. Charge for this is $10.00. Set makers sometimes changed the original cartridge used in the middle of a production model run. Some Servicemen would install a suitable replacement which may not duplicate what was originally used. (This can throw us off when trying to determine a replacement). What is important is that the pickup selected have the correct ELECTRONIC characteristics (signal strength and range-output voltage should be equal to or may be higher than current cartridge), operate at comparable tonearm pressure, and fit in the tonearm. If you have any questions, just email us and we will help you as much as we can.
