When I was maybe 14 or 15 (not recently!) I got a Silvertone radio/phono from a flea market for a couple of dollars. The radio/amp needed work, but I connected the crystal pickup directly to the speaker and the volume was quite adequate - through headphones, the volume was overwhelming

The service data lists crystal cartridges for both of these.

About 30 years ago I had a V-225 (the one that plays both sides of the record). I was able to find a couple of NOS cartridges for it, but of course they were as dead as the used ones in the record changer. At least the needles were new.

Bob, does this mean the V-210 and V-215 also have crystal cartridges?
