Hey folks. I'm finishing up restoring a Philco "Bing Crosby" 48-1201 and I need to replace the phono cartridge. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement and where I can purchase one?
Thank You in Advance!

www.thevoiceofmusic.com have any?
Kirk Luffman (OldRestorer) used to make replacements, but I am not sure he eiteyr makes them or have some left anymore.

I need to give them a shout I suppose. I'm completely green when it comes to phonographs and cartridges. I re-capped the radio and have it working, so I am starting in on the phonograph next. It seems to work, but needs cleaning and lubrication etc. The needle is rusty and nasty, and I am afraid it may damage a record.
Thank you for the help!
