I'd like to play some LPs on these old systems but both need new Pickering phono cartridges. Does anyone know where I might find some? Thanks

Hi there,
Yes, these are tough to source as the Pickering cart is a one-hole in the center mount, which makes it very hard to mod for any others. Also, the headshell is very thin, also making mods difficult.
I know I can help. I either have a replacement stylus for you, or I can probably find my only spare of these carts, which might even be new !
Let me know...
Mr Tranny, please email me. I tried to e you, but you do not accept unsolicited mail. PS I've always been a fan on the original Mini's, but when it came time to buy, I went with a Saab 96 instead. Probably more reliable, but not half as much fun..............
Back in the 60's I used to work in a stereo shop. we used to put Stanton 681EEE cartridges and Shure V15's too into these tables. Nicer than the Pickerings IMHO
Anyway try http://www.adelcom.net/PickeringCart1.htm for Pickering Carts.
HTH!

I sold audio in the 80's and I know it was common practice to put very high end cartridges on less than stellar tuntables. In retrospect, don't you think it was overkill to put cartridges this good on the nice but humble KLH turntable? I do. Before the V15 was discontinued it was over $300. The Staton 681EEE is a much more resonalbe $129 at Needle Doctor, but I still think that it is more than is warranted for on this table. A Stanton L720EE or a lower price Audio Technca would be a better real-world choice.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I just nedd a stylus for each one. I forgot they had a push in/ pull out stylus
Saab 96 Turtlebacks are cool. Did yours have the freewheeling ? Or, was that reserved for the earlier 3 cylinder versions ?
Minis can be very reliable. I have been beating mine up for 6 years now. I am looking to get a new engine, though...
You can certainly em me at larvt@comcast.net
