Philco 46-1203 Cartridge Rebuild Help - rd48sec - 09-08-2019
I am in the process of restoring a 46-1203 for a friend. The original cartridge is not working (surprise!!). Been searching the phorums and found links to Syl's instructions, but the links are dead. I did find this link: https://philcoradio.com/library/index.php/shop-talk/syls-restoration-topics/crystal-cartridge-rebuilding/#Cartridge_Types
Where can I find replacement crystals/elements??
TIA
Joel

It’s not easy to find viable crystal elements these days. You can use a piezo element but the results are mediocre at best. I put a P51-3 cartridge in my 46-1203 and it works great!

What is a P51-3? Where can I get one?
