Philips 437

Changing the cartridge of a Philips 437

I've got a Philips 437 turntable and I would like to change its current Philips 400 cartridge. The thing is I don't know how to remove the tonearm in order to get access to the screws holding the cartridge. Does anybody has experience with this? Any advice? It doesn't seems very straightforward to me. I'm planning to install a brand new Audio-Technica AT95E. Cheers!
 
Was working on a 437 today and indeed the motor does vibrate even when in the "off" position. Anyone know what size belt this one takes?
 
My Philips 437 acts exactly the same way and works fine.

My Philips 437 acts exactly the same way and works fine. I have encountered several older belt drive turntables that feel the same when "off".

Old thread, but don't remove the tone arm. The cartridge and mount slide out the front of the tone arm. Pull forward on the plastic piece with vertical red stripe.

Welcome to AK. Old thread - like the poster hasn't been on here in 14 years, but still correct advice.
