I just bought a Philco 46-1209 console. Some previous owner had yanked the original phono and replaced it with a multi-speed phono so they could play LPs, 45s. I am now seeking advice on what Philco phono to replace it with. It came with the Philco model 10A with a magnetic Cart. I heard these are better than the crystal carts., but Gib Epling of WestTech told me needles are next to impossible to find for it. So a friend of mine told me to get a Model 10 phono which has a crystal cart. He said that the crystal cart. can be taken out and substituted with an Astatic cart. for which needles are available. KAB told me the trouble with substituting a ceramic cart. is they only work up to a tracking weight of 5 grams, which most 40s tonearms exceed. Do you have any advice for me? I want to play a lot of 78s. Thanks, Marc.
