I am in the process of restoring a 46-1203 for a friend.  The original cartridge is not working (surprise!!).  Been searching the phorums and found links to Syl's instructions, but the links are dead.  I did find this link: https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...idge_Types 

Where can I find replacement crystals/elements??

TIA

Joel

It’s not easy to find viable crystal elements these days.  You can use a piezo element but the results are mediocre at best.  I put a P51-3 cartridge in my 46-1203 and it works great!

What is a P51-3?  Where can I get one?
