    Hello all! I have been trying to track down any positive identification of what exactly this cabinet is, so that I can find the correct replacement needle. It's a Wards Airline WG-2805B, 4-Speed, Hi-Fi, AM/FM console. Does anyone have an idea of the year or correct replacement needle? (I'll post pictures) Numbers on the back of the needle say: E-1 3W, 050

    Thank you in advance!

      Hi there,

      I have this very same console! I had the original owner's manual and original receipt from when its first owner purchased it- I don't have them with me right now, but if I remember correctly, it was purchased new in either 1962 or 1964. Hope this helps!

      Actually, I found another site that lists the WG-2805B model from 1961. Sorry about that!

      I have a 1960 era Ward's console. The cartridge looks identical to your picture. The cartridge is a Ronette # P105-1.
      Needle LP : Ronette # SA-075STLP
      Needle 78: Ronette # SA-250ST78
      I got a replacement LP needle from http://www.turntableneedles.com
      Their part number is 460. It comes in sapphire or diamond.
