Thanks, I have purchased the Astratic 51-3 and had to put a counter weight on the back of the tone arm to get the tracking pressure around 10 grams..the recommended tracking pressure for this cartridge is 8 grams. Now my only problem is that it's not enough to trigger the mechanism to shut it off.. But that's ok, I open the door and shut it off that way.. This cartridge puts out .5 volts and it's plenty loud..I tried making adjustments so it would shut off but it's just too much for the needle.
But thanks for the reply... I'm learning as I go.
I'm now working on Philco 42-RP1, it's wireless AM transmitter built into the record player.. The problem I'm having with this one, is that it doesn't transmit very loud.. Not sure if it's the nature of the beast or if theres something wrong, in the schematic it says it should transmit 50 ft. But I have to be right on top of the receiving unit.
I recapped it, and it didn't change anything...
Thanks
Jack
