Hello! I am wondering is a recordette sr. cutting head, will attach to an old vantage recordette-3 ? On those old vantage's are the cutters built in? or can they be removed? Also, will the recordette sr. cutter, actually fit on to the machine? Any help would be amazing!!!!!!Thanks

what is a "vantage recordette-3" ?
Is it european?
I know what a Wilcox Gay Recordette is and it uses a common old fashioned steel needle playback cartridge as both the playback pickup and the cutter. If your other machine uses that too then I guess they would interchange... |

| My Recordette 3 (early 1950s, 3 speed version of the Recordette models) had a Shure W56 as the original cartridge. It was apparently adapted from the traditional large format 78 rpm crystal playback cartridges of yore, but it had an added stylus assembly that used a 2 mil (which for a time was called 'universal' tip size, a little big for microgroove records, a little small for 78s) stylus for playbacks, situated behind the front thumbscrew assembly that held the cutting stylus. |
