1955 Wurlitzer 1800 jukebox test (part 2)

Now the sound has been improved with a new Cobra phono cartridge and the malfunctioning lift arm was repaired by slightly bending in the guide tips at the end of it. I still need to repair the lighting circuits and clean the controls but the mechanism is working well.

Chad, is your Cobra cartridge red or green? The red's are usually 3 mil and the green's are 1 mil. They also made a compromise 2 mil which was a red/green body.

@AstroSonic1967 The old one was red...we had some new ones in the shop which was red/green. Thanks for this information, I did not know the red cartridges were really meant for 78's.

They are also now making new Cobra cartridges, suppose to be much improved, come with a stereo compatible stylus, and are priced at 65.00.
