Has anyone tried using a more modern phono needle cartridge in one of these old Philco phonographs? I'm going to attempt to rebuild by old (1954) phono cartridge - it uses a crystal element - but I was wondering if it would be possible to buy a more modern, efficient and better quality needle cartridge and retro fit it in the old tone arm.
Any input or experience with this is appreciated. Thanks.
