bsr turntable
hi
my old bsr xl-1200 cartridge is wired onto the pins so it wont pop out with the 4 prongs as normal one's do. i think i could remove the wires and put each one onto the prongs of a new cartridge but it seems that the bsr cartridge is proprietary. there is one screw on top of the tone arm that holds my cartridge. i'm not sure it will screw into a new one such as the at3482u. anyone here ahve a solution? i could get another direct replacement for the bsr cartridge perhaps but i thought the 3482u (or another) would give me better sound than what i have now. i could perhaps just snap the new cartridge in without screws. all the wires in the tonearm are very thin so its hard to solder in there. please email me a copy of your response. thanks louis |

it's either a P-mount (new) or it's not.
If it's an old beast, wires should be soldered to terminals that are pressed onto the pins and can be slid off the pins of the cartridge. Problem - it might be some work to find a replacement cartridge to fit the turntable -- BSR was usually a low end product, probably could replace the turntable with something a little better and modern for about $90. appears to be some support on the network for BSR - try searching Google for some hits.
