I own (6) 345-03D used in my 100- (2) Rs, (2) C's, (1) J, and (1) G. I
didn't change any resisters and they all sound great. Of course I rebuilt all amps too! I disagree with post. I think 300.00 is a drop in the bucket compared with what I have invested in my jukes. IMO "Ken G." wrote in message ... I got my seeburg G all restored and had the opportunity to try a brand new O3D cartridge . The cartridge that is in my machine now is a gold colored aluminum cased one the same physical size as the original red head .. numbers are rubbed off , no info . this gold cartridge sounds twice as good as the O3D it has more gain and far more trebble and bass . All i can really describe is the needle is tiny L shaped and comes with a little tool to install it . I am glad i never pain 300$ for an O3D and will cant understand why these are so highly rated . I can understand maybe modifying the amp for this but why when you can get a cartridge for 25$ that sounds better . |

The cartridge load resistor was 12K in my ''G'' and 47K in my friends ''R"
this could change the HF response ...I put in 47K in my ''G" amp and it sounds great with the 345-03D.... -George James Burke wrote in message news I own (6) 345-03D used in my 100- (2) Rs, (2) C's, (1) J, and (1) G.

All this resister talk is sparking my interest. Could someone explain which
resister is replaced and where it's located? Thanks fellow Jukeboxers! "george craig" wrote in message ...

Thanks for posting the resistor .
Well ok .. things sound good to some people that are only fair to ok . I have worked in the repair business for 25+ years and find many people like that , ``long as it makes sound without static`` The 345 cartridge sounded ok but compared to the gold cartridge i have it sounded weak and low , i stood here & tried them back & fourth . Now that i know which resistor it is i will try changing it to see what happens . This gold cartridge sounds super aleady i cant emagine how it would be with the resistor changed .. we`ll see :-) |

Ken , the gold cartridge may be a crystal type with high output,..Can you
measure DC continuity through it??? -George Ken G. wrote in message ... Thanks for posting the resistor . Well ok .. things sound good to some people that are only fair to ok .
