Cartridge Id for model #414

What is the correct cartridge and needle for
The model 414?
Also the four colored wires. Where to place
Them on the back of cartridge?
Thanks for help. Raven

Raven,
Check at-- www.needles4jukeboxes.com --Ron Rich

Thanks Ron. I am assuming astatic 15/17 is
Original equipment. Are these no longer made?
I'm sure their replacement cartridge would work
Fine. Also, should I look into magnetic cartridges?
I see where they're supposed to have better
Sound. Would they work with original equipment
On rockola #414? Thanks. Raven

I assume that they are NLA--but why change it--just install a new needle-- Ron Rich

Well, to be perfectly honest, I was fumbling around with the cartridge
To put a new needle in and I broke the holding
Clip for the cartridge! I soon found out it's just as
Cheap to buy a whole new cartridge that comes with
A clip, instead of just a clip. Just checking if there were
Any good upgrades that I should consider before ordering.
Thanks for info. Raven

Well, since you "copped" to that--what you are going to need to do is look carefully at your amp. SOME RockOla amps are switchable between a magnetic and ceramic carts. If your amp has the switch on it, I would use a Pickering NP/AC or a Stanton "500". If there is no switch, you will need to determine which type cart. was used and replace it ---for ceramic , I suggest a Pfanstiehl P-132D. Ron Rich

Thanks for the info Ron. Raven
