Hello, I have just finished restoring an STC Tablegram for my boss which has an RC-456 record changer turntable, which I have managed to get working really well. The only problem is firstly the bracket holding the phono cartridge broke apart and I had to solder the bits (the springy fork holding the cartridge through the securing bracket to the turn-over knob) together. It took me several goes as it kept breaking the solder every time I tried mounting the cartridge, but I finally succeeded, although It will not be very strong a bond but hopefully should last. Secondlt the cartridge is good on one side, where I mounted the LP stylus, but the other side where I've put the 78 stylus, the volume is very soft, so the cartridge is basically stuffed on one side; |

Cheers Ian but this player runs on 8-10grams stylus weight and that setup is only good for 1.5 grams and doesn't have the flip over 78 needle. The tonearm tip on the RC-456 is very small so will only accommodate the original narrow cartridge which is secured by a single screw, not the usual 2. |
