How do you change the needle or needles or cartridge in mode
#1

Hello all. I just aquired a Philco model 725 console that I paid $25 for.It sounds great however I am disappointed that it is AC/DC set. I like to see a power transformer !! Anyways the turntable runs but I have no idea how the cartridge mechanism works. The cartridge covering is a teardrop shape and is a nice hammertone gold color.The turntable is backwards so I took the back off to loolk at it. I think I see an asbestos pad under the chassis.ARRGGHH!! Anyways there is a hole on top of the cartridge cover I assume for some kind of switch.It also says "long play" 45 etc. The cartridge seems to be pushed down and it moves.I would like to know what needles to order and how to set the cartridge etc. Also is there a way to get the tone arm to lift up vertically so I can really see what I am doing,I can only lift it up a couple inches.Thanks for any info!
