Hello and info needed Pickering 345-03D + Resistor for M100C
Hi,
This my first post. I’ve never owned a jukebox. I’ve recently put a down payment on a Grade-One restoration Seeburg 100C. I won’t be receiving the box until September ’09. (They’re working on a few ahead of mine). I initially only focused on style, looks, mint condition, etc. Now, while waiting for the box, I’ve been reading on the internet about an issue I hadn’t considered. I will be playing original 50s & 60s 45s – some that are worth a bit of moolah – and I don’t want to damage them. I am told my box will come with a Redhead cartridge. I’ve been reading about a Pickering 345-03D cartridge which is supposed to be: 1) kinder to records and 2) sound a lot better. I’d like the very best sound I can get (I selected the 100C to fit decoratively in our living room – I realize the 100R sounds better but it’s too much chrome for our room. Gee, it's great to be married!) I’ve read that a new/different resistor is needed to help with loss of volume and bass if a Pickering 345-03D cartridge in substituted for a Redhead. How many ohms should the the new resistor be? Where does it go? Is there an existing discussion that someone can point me to where ALL THE ISSUES are laid out regarding the “whats, whys, wheres and how tos” of swapping out a Redhead and replacing with a 345-03D? If not, will a kind soul reply? I can’t do the work myself, but I’d like to be able to intelligently direct the person who will be restoring my 100C. I may have to purchase the Pickering, needles, resistor, etc. and give to him along with instructions. Is this information available? Thank you very much for reading my long post and hopefully providing an answer. Chuck New Paltz, NY P.S. If there are other tips regarding gentle play on rare records and achieving the highest definition, best sound possible on a 100C (ex: speaker upgrade? Upgrade amp to "G" w/extra speaker? etc.), please feel free to share this information. I will be most grateful. I’m positive this will be the only jukebox I ever own and I want it to be absolutely perfect in terms of appearance and sound. Not concerned with it being 100% original. –Thanks again.
