The cart. is not handy, at this time. When I can get through to the Wayback Machine, I'll try to find a decent link.

Oh awesome thank you
I checked out the Decca you referred to - looks amazing for a ceramic and they're still around too.
Sorry, I'm not having any luck with WayBack. :> (
Garage-A-Records reroutes to TurntableNeedles. Contact them to see if you can still look at the old scans of a ceramic cart. catalog. IIRC, the 1/2 inch mount cart. I acquired has a "D" as its initial code character.

I got it to work - lots of interesting things in their old catalogue - I remembered right away what you were talking about, I used to check out their website from time to time when it was active
One of the EV models stands out as interesting, but I wonder which one you went for
see link below
The cart. I acquired is an Arista 1490D. It's figure D4 on chart 4.

That is cool ! Kind of in a class of its own, I totally overlooked it browsing their catalogue. Some company in the Netherlands is selling them for 29'euros, I have to check the exchange rate.
I couldn't find any specs on it. Do you have a link? Replacement needles seem readily available. That says to me that there must be a lot of cartridges out there too. If you get one, post your results. I am restoring a Garrard Type A turntable, and it might be fun to try one on some of my "less than perfect" records, although the main cartridge will be a Sure SC35C (unless I can track down an M3D).
