      Rick, if you put a record in a blue ring, you will see what I mean. By the very nature of how it holds a record takes up about one-half of the lead in groove ON THE RECORD. Wes

  Hi all,
  I thought you had to change the cam in order to have the tone arm set down at the 7" mark and not the 10" mark (that was the only reason to do this)? Wes, are you saying the blue rings have the lead-in groove cut into them? I just looked at mine and they don't have any grooves. The arm must set down at the 7" mark to use the ones I have. The cart I have (not installed yet, still using the original 51) is a modern release 51 type (Sonotone 2T-SD) that is mono, but stereo compatible and has a record player type flip over needle with LP on 1 side and 78 on the other. Rick.

        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!
