I'm restoring a Magnavox Provincial with # 242 chassis and have been unable to find information about the record changer.
It is marked Magnavox on the tone arm and also MX 850 and number 5218501 stamped in ink on the motor board. The cartridge is for 78s amd LPs amd rocks back and forth to select the one you want.
I need to know how to remove the tone arm so I can try to find another cartridge that will work.
The tone arm will not lift high enough to get to the cartridge, don't want to damage it.
I also need to know how to adjust where the needle sets down, it needs to go in about another 1/8 inch.
I have cleaned ad lubed it and other than these problems it appears to work like it should.
Will very much appreciate any information.
