Re: Ferrograph 4A: Restoration advice needed
I am confused as to how the new set of pressure pads fit. The new ones have short legs and came with three springs that don't seem to have any place in my 4A. There is no detent in the collars they mount on for the springs to pull against. I also presume I don't need the third, as it would be for the stereo head that in mine is the 'dummy'.
Are these a later model that aren't compatible? You can see from the picture that the new ones (top row) can't hook onto the springs supplied on the head mounting plate, whereas one of the old ones has a bend in the wire which I assume is for the coil spring to engage with. This surmise is illustrated in the second photograph.
