Zenith Cobramatic Tonearm Adjustment

To remove a cobra cartridge, just pull it straight down- it's held in a small plastic socket. There are no screws holding it in.

Re: Zenith Cobramatic Tonearm Adjustment
Interesting that your Cobramatic is 3-speed. In our family, we had a 4-speed turntable (16,33,45,78) with Cobramatic arm in a Zenith cabinet model with AM-FM radio. Matter of fact, it's still extant, but far away from me now as I moved years ago. Our Dad bought it when we were living in Oklahoma City during 1950-53.
