Some of theose mechanisms had an unidentified neutral position in between the speeds or just past the 78 position. Others had no neutral position and they probably figured that the unit would see regular use for the few years that it would be in service and then it would discarded.
I'd replace the cartridge with something like a Pfanstiehl P228. This is a stereo ceramic cartridge that has a flip-style needle for both LP and 78 rpm records. You may have to play with the tonearm counterbalance spring to get the tracking force right; but, I think a newer cartridge would be a much better option.
