Hey folks. I'm finishing up restoring a Philco "Bing Crosby" 48-1201 and I need to replace the phono cartridge. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement and where I can purchase one?
Thank You in Advance!

Does www.thevoiceofmusic.com have any?

Kirk Luffman (OldRestorer) used to make replacements, but I am not sure he eiteyr makes them or have some left anymore.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

I need to give them a shout I suppose. I'm completely green when it comes to phonographs and cartridges. I re-capped the radio and have it working, so I am starting in on the phonograph next. It seems to work, but needs cleaning and lubrication etc. The needle is rusty and nasty, and I am afraid it may damage a record.
Thank you for the help!
