Hi 2blue,

My record player came with two different cartridges and neither of them works. One is a open construction where the entire cartridge flips over in the headshell to switch between 78 and 33/45 stylus.

This open cartridge might be a Philips AG3301 or AG3304 stereo cartridge. It is not an original cartridge for the AG1006, but of course it can be used with a modification in the wiring.

The other one is a closed construction where only the stylus flips over.

This one might be a Philips GP230 stereo cartridge, or a GP235 mono cartridge.
Both are able to play stereo records without problems, as their vertical compliancy is sufficient for stereo grooves.

For the GP230 a wiring modification of your AG1006 is necessary, the GP235 will play without modification.

If you are willing to take a look at them I can send them to you in the mail.

No problem.
