MH: That depends quite a bit on the maker and model as well as on storage conditions. If the latter were ok (e.g. no exposure to direct sun light et cetera), many carts/needles will still be good, even if these already are 30 years and older. But there also are a couple of known problem candidates like for example the AKG MI models with "TS" suspension design or some of the Sonus models...

Just purchased a NOS AT130e which sounds spectacularly good. Presume it's been sitting around for longer. - jdaniel@jps.net 13:19:41 12/15/14 (0)
