Audiotronics model 400 transcription record player

Here's an Audiotronics model 400 4-speed transcription record player/PA system from '64 and it will play records up to 16" in diameter. It needed the usual mechanical clean-up and re-lubrication; but, the amp was fine and it now works well. The only issue is that the 78 tip on the 89T cartridge is shot and I need to get another one; but, the old style LP/78 Astatic 89T cartridges are getting scarce (and costly). The tube line-up is 6CA4, 12AX7, and 6BQ5. For a little single-ended amp that's good for about 5-6 watts, it has plenty of volume (it will really be interesting when I finally get around to restoring my Newcomb transcription player with four 6V6's in it).
