As a new learning radio buff I have a 46-1201 model that I just successfully recapped and the radio is working great. However the phono, which mechanically works fine, has very weak sound. You can barely hear it with volumn full up. I am suspecting either the two resistors on the wiring from the arm or the cartridge itself. Any advice?

Most likely, the problem is your cartridge.

There is a thread here on the Phorum detailing how to rebuild these, posted by Syl:
