Well that other lead for a transformer isn't real promising. He would like a quite a lot of money for it so I'd like to try plan "B".
First I checked out the Rider's on Nostalgia Air again and yes, there is a parts list on the model 42-1008 but I did not see one at all on the 41-608. I checked a few others as well and some did and some did not have parts list (with part numbers).
Would anyone know which models in the 41-42 era had the Beam of LIght phono with it so I could go through a number of the diagrams looking for those with part numbers and see if another used that autotransformer style that might have a different part number which, if it were available, might more closely match the one I need.
I don't suppose there is any way of knowing what the ratio of this transformer is/was so as to be able to just pick out a possible genaric transformer and just make up your own connectors for it.
Why do you suppose they used that heavier cable with Motorola connectors on it to go to the chassis input rather than
just another RCA type connector as is used on the phono side of the transformer? Surely it is minimal current involved.
Anyway... sorry to belabor the point but that Rider's manual for the 41-608 doesn't show a part number list... if you find it could you note a "link" to it for me to click on to view it?
Does anyone know approx what voltage level was put out by that Beam of Light tone arm?... would it be like a ceramic
cartridge or more like a magnetic which is a very weak level?
Thanks for now.
