So I have another post where I talk about resurrecting a Motorola Console.
here
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=347081 I had talked to Gary at VoM and the headshell and cartridge were integrated and supplied by SonoTone, and to top it off were a one year deal.
He came up with an alternative that would work, that involves putting tape around the mounting part of the new headshell to make it fit. However I have other problems now...
All of the metal pieces have a light coat of rust, and require cleaning. I used the lightest means I could (Paper towels and Windex) and wherever the rust is the gold (or whatever) plating comes off. Where there is no rust it wont come of with any amount of scrubbing (Even with magic eraser).
Needless to say I am disappointed.
So now I'm looking for an alternative.
It's a B1265 changer, so to my knowledge any 1200 series changers should fit.
Will anything else fit without having to modify the mounting area?
Is there a "Better" solution to my turntable issues?
I've already put far more effort into a console I don't even know what I'm going to do with, but I can't just leave it unfinished. It might just end up a Garage Radio, LoL...
We were going to put it in the house, and halfway through my work the Missus found one she likes better. Go figure.
At least if everything works I won't feel bad passing it on recapped and all systems working.
Below are the issues I'm working with.
