Dose anyone have any information about this model? I bought one last week and would be curious about anufacture date, maintanence suggestions, users manual, service manual ect. Seems to work well just needs some tlc on the cabinet. Also any ideas as to what they used to finish the wood and partical board?

Astrosonics were made from 1965 up to 1975.
Maintanence? - they ALL need a thorough overhaul by now after decades of aging.

What about the needle it uses? The cartridge says ev mod 5097 then on another line it says 117 560347.

Go to needles4jukeboxes.com scroll down and click on the "turntables" site--you will find you answer there--

Those cartridges are obsolete now, any found for sale would also be faulty at best.
Age takes its toll on things, even sitting new in the box for 30+ years.

I use new manufacture tetrads, sometimes custom-mounted, for reliability and easy service.
