Ceramic and Crystal cartridge specs.
I am currently collating data on the more well known cartridges of yore. of course I'm missing some data - does anyone have the output specs for:
the BSR TC8 M, H, S Acos Hi G, and Acos GP104 Garrard GC-2 more to follow. Thanks! |
Re: Ceramic and Crystal cartridge specs.
Not sure if this will help you or not. Vinylengine are also attempting to collate cartridge data.

I have found a leaflet for the BSR TC8 and it seems there were three versions, the TC8M, TC8H/1 and TC8H/2. The latter version had a 1.1 volt output.

I have now found details for the Acos GP104 culled from old Home Radio & Maplin catalogues. Maplin refer to it as the Acos 104 but I think it is the same thing.

Great information, the document is coming along nicely!
Am still after verifiable data on: BSR X3M, H. BSR X5H. BSR SX6M, H RONETTE STEREO 105 |
Re: Ceramic and Crystal cartridge specs.
Might have the X5H data at home, remind me if I don't get back to you, Ben, please. I'm sure I bought a couple of these NOS from "Gwarpy", complete with boxes and printed insert with specs.

Thanks so much (again) Peter. Data added.
Still after : BSR X3 ACOS HI- G GARRARD GC2 Also, the data I have for the SONOTONE 9TA /9TAHC is from an American ad, and another magazine article/review so would appreciate any alterative sources for this to corroborate what I have. |

Re: Ceramic and Crystal cartridge specs.
Still working on it. There's such a lot of information, it is taking a while!
I've got nearly all the BSRs done, which is the lion's share. Also quite a few Acos, need to finish the Sonotones. The 2509/3509/3559 series is a bit more complicated as there are Garrard and Pinnacle equivalents, so I need to check a lot of data to try and be sure all equivalents are listed correctly. Watch this space. And thanks too Alex for the info, very useful. |

I have quite a few details in a book published in 1964. do you mean Acos HGP33-1?.

Despite a few gaps I have at last got some semblance of a document together, as promised earlier.
At the start of the document is the main list/database. I have indicated: -Manufactuter -cart model, -Styli used, -Tracking weight in G, -Stereo, Stereo-compatible or Mono. -Output in mV (usually at 1 or 1.2cm/s but often this data is missing). There then follows a collection of miscellanea on the subject: cartridge ads, spec sheets, instruction cards and general information, collated from my collection, contributions here, and that found online in various places. I still need to finish the Sonotone section and correct one or two inaccuracies or unconfirmed details, so bear with me! The subsequent editions of the document will have any amendments/corrections, plus any updated and new information. A always, keep the info coming and feel free to point out anything I have missed. I appreciate the help. |

Well done Ben!
The Acos GP96-1 was tracked by Hacker at 5g (if that's any help). |
