When I say soldered in permanently, I have to remove the 4 lugs that plug into the C1 cartridge and replace them with a sonotone plug which then makes me a bit dependent on a sonotone cartridge unless I refit the 4 little plugs if the sonotone is not compatible, very fiddly.
I have confirmed the c1 cartridge is faulty so the fault must be internal.
It's a shame the cartridge has failed had it worked the set would be totally original and apart from the seized deck everything else is fine including the controls!
