Tony, of the 3 1800's I owned, the lest two i converted to use a magnetic cart. It is fair amount of precise work, but once I heard what these machines could sound like, there was no other choice. I still have one 1800 and can describe the mods involved, but the best cart for this (Pickering/Stanton NPAC-V400) is NLA and I don't know what else to use. I am sure it can be done with available carts,though.

Looking for a mech motor and mounting bracket for a Wurlitzer 1800, I don't know offhand what other models are the same.
Also looking for a tone arm that will fit into an 1800 but came with a ceramic. I'll use even a newer one that no longer looks similar to the cobra, just so it fits.
And it needs an amp also! Something newer is fine. I happened to have a 548 amp and plugged in the mech plug and the machine, well the selector latch solenoid turns on, don't know what older stuff might work
And/Or if someone can tell me what models I have to choose from that will help my search.
This box came to me missing this stuff. I didn't even notice the motor was missing also. Duh.
The owner couldn't care less what the tone arm looks like, although I'll paint it red. As for originality of the amp, she doesn't care at all. I'm actually thinking of using an early stereo amp and making it stereo, but any amp that is close to plug and play will be fine.
Thanks,
