I don't throw much away, but have a bad habit of giving things I have no 
immediate use for to others that do.

Found a friend who has two turntables (Phillips) that will play 16 2/3 speed 
LP's, tho he only has a headshell/cartridge combination for one of them, a 5 
pin affair that has a threaded collar which screws onto the arm.

 BA> The "Record Finder" sells them.  www.recordfinders.com.


Thanks,
