Here....

Are the stylus cartridges used in stereophonic players different from those used in monaural players?
RCA introduced a new stylus cartridge about the same time the stereo players hit the market. This new cartridge was intended for use with a redesigned stylus sensor mechanism. All F and G players with the older pickup arm assembly No. 149002 should use the No. 149000 stylus cartridge, while players with the newer pickup arm assembly No. 154036 should use the No. 154100 stylus cartridge. Here's a stylus cartridge replacement summary for all RCA players:
Stock No. 149000 used in all SFT100
Stock No. 149000 used in early SGT075 and SGT100
Stock No. 154100 used in SGT075 and SGT100 starting with Serial No. 2155xxxxx
Stock No. 154100 used in all SGT200 and SGT250
Stock No. 154216 used in all J and K series players
It is still always possible to use the 149000 cartridge in place of the
154100 cartridge, but using the 154100 in a player designed for the 149000 may possibly cause problems. With the new pickup arm assembly, RCA widened the stylus sensor spacing to accommodate a rubber damper that can be seen on the 154100 cartridge just above and behind the stylus tip. This rubber damper lessens the likelihood of audio resonance which can sometimes be heard as a hissing sound around 10 KHz. A 149000 cartridge can be used with this new arm assembly with no ill effects other than the resonance damping function not working. But using a 154100 cartridge in a player with the narrower stylus sensor spacing may cause the visual search mechanism to fail in either the forward or reverse direction. This would occur on 154100 cartridges that have the rubber damper uncentered, leaving too little space for the magnetic coil to kick the stylus the required two grooves forward or two grooves back.

actually I do have a remote, but It's not the original one. I have found the original one on Ebay, but the one I have has the huge "dial" on it. I found another laser disc player at an estate sale and it plays, but only certain discs. I have no idea if that is normal for it or not. Anyway, my laser set is growing, my buddy I got the player from sent me a boxed set of The Abyss and Sean Connery collection volume 1 & 2. and he found me the 9 disc box set of Star Wars. 'I'm having a ball with these but I have to say, THE CAPACITANCE ELECTRONIC DISC system is my main hobby!!! There is just something special about them:).

Ryan, I know exactly what you mean. Just to hear that machine doing what id does, to hear the RCA music come on. There is just something special about it. I too am still smiling. I remember when I got my player in 1982, it was around the same time HBO had a new sign on jingle before each movie, I remember comparing it to the RCA one. (of course the RCA one was always best, hands down)
