Greetings. I'm looking for a complete RCA crystal cartridge from 1941 -- if it is stamped with the part number 38598, 39919 or 38453, and looks like the ones in the photos, I'm interested. This cartridge would have been used in several radio-phonograph consoles, including the RCA V-210, RCA V-215 and RCA V-225. If you have one or know of someone who might, please let me know. (Don't worry if the crystal is dead -- I expect it to be.) Thanks!

I had a cartridge that was installed on a RCA special/ It worked was almost dead but I sent it out t West Tech and he did a good job. The record player sounds nice and I can use the volume control. I added to the bass . Tom
