Hello recently recapped chassis and replaced push - push off on switch, then to the changer disassembled and removed all the old grease and relubed and brought up to speed. On to the BOL ( beam of lite) tone arm lamp was burned out and as far as I could find out unavailable so put in # 55 lamp powered off rectified filament supply and filtered with 15,000 mfd & small resistor still wound up with 6.3 v .original selenium pick up cell only put out .1v so I tried silicon photo cells I could not get any voltage out of them so I tried a solar cell made for toys it fits on an angle in the arm but angle dosent seem to matter got .92 v out of it . Soldered on new 78 needle on to mirror pick up, I get fairly good volume with control close to max. My question is has anyone come up with a better pick up or can suggest a better one?

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
