Default Re: Connoisseur two speed turntable 1950?

There will still be an impedance mismatch between the 400R and the 47K input but you should get something I figure, even if it is distorted due to overload or impedance mismatch.

As far as I can remember the cartridge remained the same from 1949 until it was replaced with stereo ceramic. I do not think he made a stereo version of the moving iron but again my memory may be wrong.

There is not much information on Connoisseur on line so a good old google search should come up with an answer. Trawling old magazines is another way to find out more.

Try American Broadcast history and check out the UK magazines from that era, I do not think he is in Wireless World but worth a look.

Oh yes nearly forgot there may be a bad connection somewhere or one of the wires has perished in the cable from the head to the phono output, that output should be high enough to measure with a meter and definitely with a VTVM, it should be possible.
