Merry Christmas everyone,

Roaming through drawers I found this gramophone cartridge, undoubtably from our late Beogram 1000.
Have any of you seen this make before?

It seems unused, but I'll get (and post ) a microscope shots of the tip to make sure.

All the best,
Henrik B

There were countless producers of replacement SP cartridges, both contemporary alternatives and aftermarket.
Some had a brand name, but most were "noname".
Some were better than others, a few were actually really good, others... well, less so.

The make doesn't seem to be given on yours, but from its unusually long cantilever, it looks a bit like the one offered by Musonic:

Thanks,
