[Vintage-Radio] crystal cartridges

Sun, 20 Jan 2002 17:29:41 -0500

There are at present, only a small number of ceramic cartridges being
produced, as there is no market for OEM in this field. Best solution is to
install a Shure or Pickering MAGNETIC cart. ( for which 78 styli are
available ) and an appropriate preamp. Trying to find an older ceramic cart.
that even still works is a chore. Time, temperature and humidity tend to
kill them. There are a few folks out there who supply NOS cartridges.
Garage-O- Records is one place you might try. (888) 800-7597. Good luck
