John thanks I found it earlier. I have another problem on this 494 I just finished up. The sound is very tinny. like it's out of phase or something. Like very high distorted treble. I tried different speakers with no change. Replaced the needle with a new good Shure. What are your thoughts on the cartridge being bad? It's wired correctly. If that's not the problem then the amp is going to need re-built. Your thoughts? Thanks!


It could well be out of phase, the cartridge in these should be wired out of phase like AMIs - when you say the cartridge is wired correctly, is that as per diagram?


I have an AMI as well and the cartridge is wired out of phase. On this Rock-Ola it's not wired out of phase as per the manual instructions. The amp needed re-built. It's all back together and sounds good now. Not as good as my AMI but as good as a Rock-Ola.
