RCA Victor 45 RPM Record Player Phono Cartridge for RP-168

Description

It's time to dig out those old 45's
and have a party with
The Redhead
On your Classic
RCA Victor
45 RPM Record Player
Ever since we introduced our replacement idler wheel,
the
only one
available featuring a genuine Oilite bearing for
superior performance and precision made for the Classic
RCA Victor RP -168 & RP-190 45 RPM Automatic
Record Changers, many of our customers have requested,
and a few demanded, that we design and manufacture the
highest quality replacement cartridge.
The
REDHEAD
Cartridge is now available!
Step One
We pre-test every cartridge for sound quality and output in
our Blue-Arm test jig featuring a custom made plug-in tone-arm.
Step Two
We believe that soldering output leads to a cartridge is an unprofessional shortcut.
The amount of heat necessary to insure a good connection creates the risk of damage
to the cartridge with degraded sound quality that may show up now or later.
We assemble precision connectors and install using no heat.
Step Three
The cartridge mounting angle was confirmed by comparing to a
commercial turntable by Innotech that uses the identical cartridge.
Step Four
Every completed Redhead cartridge is tested for
exceptional performance in our Clear-Arm test jig
Step Five
Installation Instructions
The RCA 45 player must be in good condition.
The idler wheel, rubber motor mounts and cycle cam need to be checked

Clean and lubricate the motor to insure correct speed.
