Re: Restore an HMV 2127
To set the historical record straight, I thought That I was not going potty but remembered I had seen the old two stylus cartridge. There was an early version of this plessey turntable and it is described on Paul's DVD. The cartridge was mono the year 1952 and in the ert sheet the crystal element within the head is described as inclining so as to show the 2nd stylus to the record. The tracking force of that cartridge was said to be set at 10-12gms though as has been admitted this is adjustable.
By now you will probably have some work on your hands to make the arm free enough in the horizontal and vertical and spring counterbalance is not the best for stereo, though many of the BSR ceramics are surprisingly good!
I wish you well.
Mike
