That record player is awesome, fine candidate for stereo ceramic cartridge, so you can play stereo records. I think my 48 Windsor has that same RP.

I got the proper audio plug in the mail yesterday and I installed it, but unfortunately there was no audio coming from the cartridge, which I figured out it was because someone screwed with the original tone-arm wire and so I have to install some new wire in the tone-arm.

The original cartridge by the way is still good, I tested it for output with my newly acquired EICO VTVM (that I finally found a set of test probes for) and I got a good strong deflection on the VTVM with it set in Ohms.
