Default Re: Sanyo stereo radio phonograph sound issues.

Those VacoLuxor cartridges used in the portable players very often fail, usually one channel goes first. Unfortunately they are so slim that it can be tricky to find a suitable replacement. The Chuo Denshi clones might be a bit wide but they're so cheap it is worth a try. The original carts use a sort of friction fit with metal prongs, but the Denshis do not so you may have to get creative there.

Perhaps a BSR SC11 or 12 will fit and a small hole can be drilled in the headshell - these affix via a single screw.
