Thanks for your reply, the stylus is fine & I'm sorted with a cartridge now.
Nick
Thanks for the links & cct
I've seen/heard of many of these "carts" failing especially after long periods of storage as the moisture gets at them as you know it's not easy to get accurate O/P results with a DMM on these things ......"charge coupled" ?
I've ordered a replacement from "Juke box" .......seems like an interesting place & it will get me a known good cart that I can start with.
I did a check check on the "dropper" resistor while I was looking around & got 105 ohms so that would seem OK
The cct does look like the one I have here, I'll draw it out later when I get some time
Question.................... to earth the deck to the mains lead or not ? (3 core lead fitted by previous owner)
Cheers
Dick.
