Hello everyone!

I am going through and helping my father out. He was the owner of a great Television repair shop and has so many unique things. I am learning and will do the research but don’t know where to start.

These are the first things I have found.

First four pics show assorted record player cartridges (the stylus + transducer unit that converts the record groove wiggles into an electrical signal). Some may be relatively valuable, if they still work- certain types "go off" with just age, even if unused. Someone will probably be able to give you chapter and verse on types etc.

The last pic is a small pushbutton switch module. The button would click into place on the shaft when it's assembled into a unit. Not particularly interesting unless it's an unobtanium spare for an valuable old set.

Keep the pics coming, you might find something really obscure!

Many of these are very collectable early Ronette stereo pick up cartridges.
