Hey folks,
During my move from D.C. to Mandeville, Louisiana the movers broke the tuner arm on my magnavox micromatic model#1ST621R.
(My wife found the cabinet on the side of the road while on a run one morning and called me b/c she thought i would want it. Needless to say, yes i wanted it and have been listening to it just fine for the last 2 years. )
I found a micromatic imperial on ebay and now have it in my possession. however, when i received it, it had no needle. I've since purchase the needle, and it should arrive this Saturday.
so... I was hoping y'all could help me with some questions:
1- does anyone know anything about this model? #1ST621R. age, and specs, etc?
2- can i just drop in the micromatic imperial to replace the regular micromatic that was the original turntable?
3- what is the best was to clean a cartridge, the one i have is filthy!
thanks so very much. I'm totally inundated with this baby and really want to get it running right. it's beautiful, well, to me at least!
Ive attached a few picks.
I just opened up the back for the 1st time last week, thats why its so dirty!
