I use a Califone portable record player to test my needles. I need a new or good Astatic 89T plug-in cartridge. They do not make them anymore and some old stock sellers have made them as valuable as gold (so to speak). Could you help me/
Thanks,
Jerry

Re: Recordette 3
Thanks for your message. I did get the crystal head repaired and it works great when playing records but sounds muffled when I record.

Rek-0-kut Challenger TR-12H fuse amp
Hey guys, One of the members here suggested I use a standard-for-the-time 3AG size fuse about an inch and a quarter long, a quarter-inch nominal diameter. However didn't mention the amp needed. I have an 8A device, so could someone help me. I was at an electronics store and the man said the new ones...

Recordette 3
Hi Guys, I have a Recordette 3 by Wilcox-Gay. Today I cut a record as I spoke in the microphone. I played it back and it sounded muffled like I had a pillow over my face, plus low volume even though I had the volume UP while recording. Any clues about what could be the culprit? It is a tube device. ...

Re: Rek-0-kut Challenger TR-12H
Sorry, Jerry, didn't see this earlier. Did you get the beast working? That fuse ought to be a standard-for-the-time 3AG size, about an inch and a quarter long, a quarter-inch nominal diameter. Home Depot has those, they're pretty common. I take it that the tubes aren't even lighting up? I have been...

Rek-0-kut Challenger TR-12H
Hi Guys, I still have no power in my Rek-0-Kut Challenger TR-12H amplifier. I have tested all the tubes and they are ok. What type of fuse do I need? I bought a fuse holder and fuse. On the fuse it says: BUSS A CM 2. I bought a 5 amp glass tube and it wouldn't lock in the fuse holder. It was the sam...

Re: Rek-0-kut Challenger TR 12H Manual/Schematics
Hey Guys,
Apparently I have lost the schematics (8A) for my Rek-0-kut TR 12H that was posted here a few months ago. I have looked in my documents where I save things and I cannot find it. I would appreciate if someone could provide another attachment for it.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Guys,
I have a Rek-0-kut Challenger TR-12H and I have found a man that has a M12 pro overhead. Should this work good with my device?
Thanks,
