Will this procedure for a Shure work? I think it should, but was wondering if the readings would be different for a moving iron cartridge.

Using an ohmmeter, you can check the continuity of a Shure phono cartridge body.

1. Remove any wires connected to the cartridge. You will test at the pins on the rear of the cartridge.

2. Set the ohmmeter so it can read up to 10,000 ohms.

3. Connect the ohmmeter leads to the white pin (L) and the blue pin (LG). The meter should read above 100 ohms and below 10,000 ohms.

4. Connect the ohmmeter leads to the red pin (R) and the green pin (RG). The meter should read between 100 ohms and below 10,000 ohms. The ohm reading should be the about the same as step #3 above.

5. Connect the ohmmeter leads to the white pin and the red pin. The meter should read "infinity" or "open".

6. Connect the ohmmeter leads to the blue pin and the green pin. The meter should read "infinity" or "open".
