The 49-1603 uses the same radio chassis as the 49-1602. The 1603 has a model M-9C, combination changer instead of the M-9 of the 1602.

The M-9C has two arms; one for 78s and one for the new Columbia 33-1/3 LPs. There's a switch to select the arm of choice.

NOTE!! Different stylus tips! Do not use the 78 arm on an LP. All you'll do is carve out the groove and erase the record!

The 1602 and 1603 are "hot-chassis" sets. Use an isolation transformer!

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