I have a 46-1256 radio phono and the phone only lets out a small
sound from the needle/cartridge but not from the speaker. The radio plays great through the speaker. Is the cartridge bad? if so where can I find a cartridge for a Philco radio/phonograph model 46-1256

Welcome to the Phorum!
If it's a table model radio / phono combo, are you sure you don't mean model
48-1256? There wasn't a 46-1256. There was a 46-12
26 console radio / phono. The first two digits of your model number indicate the year of manufacture of your set.
At any rate, regardless of which model you have, more than likely the cartridge is bad. You may be able to find a suitable replacement here:

Or, you may be able to have your cartridge rebuilt here:

Be sure to mention to West Tech the phono
changer is a Philco Model D-10.
