I looked and looked and found nothing new.

Gary sent it to me as an attachment. It is two pages. It is on Downloads now. (Tuners) See if you can open it....

Greg, I think you made a slight boo/boo. It's not under (Tuners) like you posted, it's under Changers and Turntables and I was able to open it.

Of course I made a boo-boo. Why would it be under Tuners? Senior moment..... Sorry!....

The image for the cartridge I have is on page one, the third item down, the one on the right. "KMGVX3" kit.

[William]

No apologies necessary, just about everything I do any more is a senior moment and I sometimes wonder if getting out of bed is a good idea anymore.

My wife tells me that I'm ready for the nursing home. Sometimes, I wonder if she might be right. I have the paint worn off the "backspace" button on my keyboard.....

[William]

If you ready, then so am I, and I do not want to admit that yet. Maybe down the road we could get assigned to the same nursing home.

I'll save all the changers I need redone, then. No use of me fumbling around with them when I'll have Mr. VM in the same nursing home.......

I am in the process of changing the cartridge in this changer. This is a job I won't enjoy. Lots of little fine wires that my old fumbling fingers have trouble with. There is no real replacement for the Euphonics E-1 cartridge. There is a glue-in kluge that I pray I'm smart enough to install and get it working. It is alleged to be an Electro-Voice cartridge of some kind, but it's tiny in comparison to the original cartridge. It comes in a kit, and the installation is quite well explained. I figured out how to remove the tone arm. The front screw uses a coil in the plastic tone arm to provide threads. The coil backed out with the screw and wouldn't pass thru the metal bracket so I could remove the tone arm. I finally armstronged it enough to booge it off. I put the coil back into the tone arm, so we'll see how that works.
