[Jukebox-list] Cartridge Installation on Rockola 1438 ?

[wbabbott at cox.net]

I've received a new stereo cartridge for my Rockola 1438 along with a new replacement shielded phono cable to rewire the cartridge with as my original is looking very ratty. It appears that the original cartridge is in place, but has been slightly "re-wired" in past. There are two terminals on the original cartridge which I believe is 1.needle output and 2. ground. The output terminal has the core of the phono cable soldered to it .The ground terminal has a wire lead which appears to be soldered to the phono cable outside shielding?? It would seem to me that the ground would be grounded somewhere other than the metal shielding on the cable??

Before I install and rewire new stereo cartridge, I want to be sure how to properly wire and ground the cartridge. Please give me some instruction here...!
Thanks,
