The Red Head replacement arrived yesterday, reads 1.976K ohms plays great. I double checked the original cartridge placing back into the Jukebox, and of course it is shot, no sound and nothing on the meter so I guess mystery solved.

Forgot to mention the amp is an HFMA1-L6

I'm experiencing some very unusual feedback through the speakers, volume spikes for a split second with loud feedback when I hit the cancel button on the back of the cabinet. loud pop when tone arm first lands on the record, louder pop as it comes off the end of the record, then on the final selecti...

A new Jukebox Superhero, RED HEAD READER is born (;p

It could be the reader, it's all good. I ordered another cartridge from Victory Glass and will test it and post a followup when it arrives, need to make sure the reader can still read, wait a minute, that's me...lol.

just retested cartridge with two working meters, clip on leads, no reading.

Ron, I don't know, tried two different meters, digital and regular both Zero out and work fine. I'll try clip on test leads just to make sure and report back with results.

Is it possible for my Seeburg Red Head Magnetic PC cartridge to play okay, but show no reading when removed from the tone arm and checked with an ohm meter. I checked it with two different meters set on RX1, RX10, RX1K and nothing. I was told it should read right around 560 ohms, no reading means th...

Yep, figured as much, many thanks Ron for your wisdom

I started s l o w l y cleaning the 100 contacts, gently using an ultrasonic cleaning for all 5 centipede plates, followed by an eraser, all contacts now look shiny new. I noticed that 4 out of the 5 spring loaded contact plates had a thin Black cloth wrapped wire that had either broken off or fell o...

Ron, You Rock Man, Thank you. It works, placed the new 25K resistor on the chassis snug between the existing resistor and 5U4, reconnected original wires back onto my old resistor reviving the 2500K, disconnected ground off the old resistor. I ran a new short 2" ground wire from one end of the ...

New guy on the block here, need some help with R48, combo value pale blue ceramic resistor, mounted on the tube side of the amp between 5U4 and 6L6. I have a reading on the 2500 but dead on 25K, obtained a 27K replacement but not sure how to rewire onto the old 3 leg resistor. I marked my old discon...
