The tonearm on the early (like this one) Newcombs followed a very similar concave shape that were prominent in the Garrard Type II turntables which were excellent trackers. (Great in stereo but NA here) but I have wondered of my own Newcomb what it would sound like to put an old Pickering P-ATE cartridge in the tonearm and run an old Realistic preamp fastened to the rear of the chassis. I might try it if I cannot find new styli. No Stereo though.

Funny my very first turntable (that i got for my 7th birthday, im 20 now lol) was just like that. It too was also from a school (crandon, wi)

I have a similar unit. It sounded great but tended to shred more modern, finer-grooved records. I found that out when it made Velvet Underground 45 box set reissue sound like gunk. I brought it to a specialist who switched out the stylus with a more contemporary needle. It lost some volume and splurgily sound but overall it was the smart move. Purists might object but I don't want to shred my records. Am thinking of replacing the proprietary output jack, too.

I remember those record players from the first grade! Those were the ones we had to play records on when we had "show-n-tell"...sometimes the teacher would let us play records in class! LOL

Bad trackers!

Why would they skip? Geometrical problem or are they bad trackers?
