Abstract: A moving-coil type pickup cartridge comprising a cantilever provided at the free end thereof with a stylus for tracing a sound groove of a record disc, a coil plate provided on the cantilever in a manner to vibrate in response to vibration of the stylus, and an arrangement for producing an effective magnetic field within a specific gap. The coil plate comprises a thin electrically insulating base plate and at least one coil which is formed from a thin film in a spirally-shaped pattern on at least one surface of the base plate. The coil plate has at least one upright part formed by bending the base plate together with a portion of the coil and interposed in a freely vibratory manner within said gap of the magnetic field producing arrangement and a mounting part integrally joined to the upright part and fixed to the cantilever.
