Pretty good match for the arm. The stylus was NIB when I got it, only has about 100 hours on it.
I put a Grado Black2 in 'er, but couldn't get the overhang set correctly. Was closer to 17mm than 15mm.
The AT VM540ML fits the headshell and the overhang can be set at the correct 15mm. I also tried a Micro Acoustics MA-282e. The later MA Stratus would not fit in the headshell.
If you can find an old Shure and don't mind the (in my opinion) spotty quality of the aftermarket replacement styli, should work well.

The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
