Motorola 85F21

Picked up piezo from RS today and also ordered p-51 cartridge. Thought I'd give them both a try and see which works best.

thanks

Ill be keeping my out to see how you make out with them

Well the Motorola progress is moving along well. The chassis is complete, the cabinet is refinished with bombay mohagany stain and 2 coats semi-gloss lacquer. Now just waiting for the TT parts to arrive to see if I can retrofit the new cartridge.

Isn't there another guy out there that rebuilds these? I was thinking maybe in Arkansas or close. Although it could have been the place mentioned. I have never used them though. I need to get one for my seeburg jukebox as it was dead. It looked a lot like yours.

If there is I have not found any contact info.

Update:
The only radio rebuilder that comes to mind in Arkansas is the YouTube guy "Joernone" but I haven't seen him repair a TT.

The cabinet looks great!

Well the Pfanstiehl P-51 Astatic 51 came and I made a temporary pickup arm modification to allow the cartridge to rest on the album......did not work. With the wires connected to the new cartridge , powered up, I rubbed my finger across the stylus and got nothing. I connected the old Technics TT I have to the chassis and it played, albeit not very much volume but it did play. I emailed WestTech Services to get a price on rebuilbing the old cartridge before I start trying to rebuild it myself.

That edge lit dial scale looks great on those.

Getting closer. Got the TT drawer front on and the flocking came in today so tomorrow I'll try to flock the TT. I connected an ipod nano to the phono input this morning.....man does it sound great.
Sachmo never sounded better.

I bought some flocking too.Take some pics and let us see how it works out please
