I bought a remote for my Microlog phono yesterday and I'm not finding anything in the manual about what kind of wire to use for it,meaning gauge, shielded or not etc.? any suggestions would be helpful

[Ron Rich]

Hey Dude,
Which "MicroLog" model ? Seeburg sold Beldon #8445 wire for that purpose. There is also another Beldon wire number--colors are different- but all are 18 gauge stranded, non shielded, 5 wire cable. Ron Rich

[grizzlydude]

A fc1 regencey with shp1 amp

[grizzlydude]

So I'm guessing any Beldon 18guage 5 wire cable will do in this present time

[Ron Rich]

Hi Dude,
Nope--any brand 5 wire 18 ga. stranded cable, will do, at any time !  Ron Rich

[grizzlydude]

Thanks Ron , I haven't forgot about your book either , just got to get around to emailing you

At one time, my business partner and I owned 26 FC-1's--25 on location for almost 25 years--great sounding model ! Ron Rich

Yes IT DOES HAVE A Really great sound compared to others , and that is very cool thing for u to have had that many which leads me to ask ... I have to know if u by chance have any cabinet parts left over?

[Ron Rich]

Hi Grizzly,
Yep--a very few--and someplace I have parts for it, the factory never installed ! Contact me off list-- [e-mail] Ron Rich

Hi Ron, I hate to sound like a dumbass lol but I just recived my prvc3 in mail today and upon looking at the part number it happens to be different on the motor then what my fc1's manual states only by one number. The one I have here is #509220 the one in book is # 509210 . So I referred back to tony Miller's website about cross referencing motors and I think I'm fine? correct me if I'm wrong.

Also upon examining my fc1's 5 lug terminal on the vc2 I noticed the red and green don't have any wires coming off of the phono for power to the motor so I checked my manual for schematics but I'm not able to locate anything to help on this mystery. Could u possiably point me in the right direction?

[Ron Rich]

Grizzly,
If my great but not too long memory serves me, the only difference between those two was the 210 had two mounting holes on it, where the 220 had only one--the other hole was changed to a cut-out--made it easier to mount on the bracket. Red/Green wires jump from 5 wire terminal to the terminal on the motor assembly-- Ron Rich

[grizzlydude]

So , what runs the motor as the only wires I have coming from phono to wire terminal is brown, white and black. The red and green are "dead terminals" as one might say.

Unless the motor runs off remote cancel and volume

[Ron Rich]

Grizzly,
Power from the amp is sent to the 5 wire terminal--the hand held/mounted control switches the dc from the brown and ground to the red/green on the terminal block--white is the reject function ( to {black} ground ).

That's exactly what I wanted to know about the remote driving the motor , thank you Ron your the man!😁

[Ron Rich]

BTW--that PRVC is ( or MUST be !)fused inside the amplifier with a 2 AMP, fast blow fuse (pigtail, if original)--MAKE SURE THE INSULATOR IS INSTALLED INTO THE rvc CONTROL head, OR YOU will BLOW THAT FUSE ! (IF NO FUSE--You'll blow the amp.)
