[Jukebox-list] AMI B tone arm

[The Jukebox Junkyard]

    I never liked the blue rings. They take up too much of the lead-in 
groove. About the only cartridge that will work is an Astatic 51-1 and it 
doesn't like stereo records.. Wes

Hi David,
I have the 45 arm and the blue rings (haven't checked the motor to see whats 
in there). For now, I'm gonna leave it on 78, but would like to get the rest 
of the parts to convert it to 45 if I decide to do that later on. I have a 
lot more 45's than 78's. The ones I have are from the 1920's. Does anyone 
here have a good source to buy rock and roll 78's. Not sure what type music 
would have been played on this originally. Thank you, Rick.

  Do you really want to mess around with the blue rings and
  all that stuff?  But if you really must, you need a new
  motor (although see below) and the spindle adapter that
  glues on over the 1/4" turntable spindle.  I've seen some
  motors that had a sleeve on the shaft to drive the turntable
  at 78.  Remove that sleeve (with a set screw) and it will
  drive the turntable at 45.  This must have been a "universal"
  replacement motor.  If you have this motor (which my A had)
  you're one step ahead.  BUT DON't LOOSE THE SLEEVE!
