It is not too difficult to retrofit with a magnetic cartridge such as a Pickering NP/AC and an LKG phono preamp. I think this RCA has a 1/2 inch mount for a magnetic. We do this a lot with Wurlitzer jukeboxes which usually used ceramics and the sound quality is a lot better.
I don't know why a lot of these used ceramics though other than cost and that they offer a flip over needle for 78 RPM records. The ceramics seem to do quite well with 78's.
The higher priced consoles such as those using Garrard turntables often did use a magnetic.
