Cartridges

Cartridges for the V-M Model 630, 301 and 1500 series changers are available (Contact Us for details). The RCA 45 changers were used as stand alone attachments and in numerous phono models – the less expensive versions had a 3 volt cartridge and the more upscale models employed a 1 volt cartridge. • For 1 volt models: The following kits are available to replace the original cartridge. Click on the link to see what's included and what's required to use these kits:    K45A Cartridge kit - requires shell from original cartridge, not included with kit. This kit is based on the P190 cartridge and is the most popular with enthusiasts. See picture of completed installation (upper right).      K45B Cartridge kit - comes complete, and easiest to install for the novice. This kit is based on the P51 cartridge.      K45D Cartridge kit - comes complete, is very easy to install and has a robust 0.9 volts output. This kit is based on the P228 cartridge except it has a single 0.7 mil tipped needle. Unique cartridge mounting design allows player to handle up to 14 stacked records, like the original! For models with plastic tone arms. See picture (side view, lower right). Tip: If you are not sure which kit to buy after reading the above, order the K45B. • For 3 volt models: You can have your original crystal cartridge rebuilt by West Tech Services (Links page) or replace it with a modern ceramic and live with lower volume. The highest output alternative above is the K45D kit (0.9 volts).
