Commonwealth Electronics WRN/2 Pickup

Shown here is the 16" version of the Commonwealth Electronics WRN/2 pickup a recent addition to my collection. I don't have a release date for the WRN/2 however, the advertising indicates approximately 1957. Both the specification sheet and advertisement state that 12" and 16" versions were available.

This variable reluctance pickup was only made for mono reproduction. Two stylus plates were available, RED for 78 rpm with a 0.0025" stylus and GREEN for microgroove with a 0.001" stylus.

If you would like a copy of the specification sheet and/or the advertisement go to "Download Documents" on the left side of this page and click on the links.
