Without researching this, I believe that the pickup is an RCA magnetic horseshoe type, with the cobra-like "Inertia" arm. Philco bought pickups from RCA for sevedral of their phonographs.

If I'm correct, there will be one screw in the arm, immediately behind the pickup head. Remove that screw and the hex nut below. The pickup head can then be pulled out from the arm, and there is a two pin plug that is pulled out of the head.

These pickup heads can be rebuilt by George Epple, in Baltimore, Maryland. He has an e-mail address, but I don't know what it is just now. George is as honest as anyone could be, and can put you back in operation.
