Philips Turntable Phono Cartridge Mount

thingiverse

This is a first run at making a phono cartridge mount for many popular vintage Philips turntables. These mounts are long out of production and are very hard to find. Some want up to $80 just for the mount. I have made two so far, and they work great. (YMMV) There are four connector pins onto which one can carefully slip the ends of standard phono cartridge wires. Be very careful doing this, as the pins are small and weak. Once the wires are successfully installed, they will stay on. Make sure the connector will slip over the pin with some friction. I've not found the wire connectors to be uniform, some require opening up (I use a dental pick), while others may need to squeezed down a bit. Print a few.....pins are bound to break. Hoping someone much more skilled than I am can figure out how to strengthen the pins.
