[Jukebox-list] Tempo 1 Cartridge-Help please

[Francois Villeneuve]

Hi Jenz,

I know in my schematic and in my manual it says the mono version used the GE
VR II magnetic cartridge.

I think the ceramic was for the stereo versions.

I was able to find that the GE VRII cart has an output on 10mV minimum and
the NP/AC also has an output of 10mV, so the NP/AC really seems to be the
prefect replacement.

Anyone else has anything to say about this ?

Bye  :-)
Francois

The Tempo 1s I have had (just a few) had ceramic cartridge, a few were
stereo.

Maybe they came both ways? Perhaps they were different for export? Perhaps
they changed it in mid year?

Somebody check the schematics.
