Hello everyone, I'm sorry to write you in english but I'm from the Netherlands and don't speak Polish. Last week I was in the Czech republic on a flea market where I found a nice Unitra fonica WG-417 record player. The device is in good order only the cartige is not ok anymore, the wires seems rotten (?), see pictures. The needle however seems ok.
On various shops for needles and cartridges I can't find the WG-417. However i read also (for example on the site Radiomuseum) that the model is based on a device of Telefunken.
Do anyone here know which Telefunken model this is or where I can't find this type of cartridge? Maybee this type is also used in other Fonica models?
completion:
On http://sprzedajemy.pl/gramofon-artur-stereo-unitra-fonica-wg-900... I see that WG-900 seems to use the same cartridge! That seems good news...
Thanks for your reply! I will look the cartridge up at Ebay, I think that's easier for me than Allegro.
Probably language barrier is a significant impediment while this sort of thing to Polish classic audio equipment you will find only at Allegro / SPrzedajemy and OLX

Yes, but these Polish websites are not that accessible for me I think. In fact, I have never heard of them before. :)
I found the cartridges on Ebay though (a T25, tnx), see:

The first one is even in the Netherlands. I think I will order it there...
