Hello again all,
When I posted my request, I was trying to save a customer some money on a repair that was getting expensive.
ONE person actually sent me an e-mail with some useful info on a web site that had a similar cartridge at a reasonable price, and thanks to him for that.
I had NO INTENTIONS of starting a thread on bashing an individual.
IF YOU CAN'T STAND POSTINGS FROM A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL (including me) DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. Instead, either skip over posts from that person, or learn to use your browsers' features and block posts from that person.
While I do find some people attempt repairs that I would not, I also find that sometimes they have something useful to say, or have found an reasonable way to repair something that I thought could not be repaired for less than the cost of replacement.
Regards, Tim Schwartz Bristol Electronics
P.S. I had my brands wrong. The cartridges I used to see open windings in all the time was Micro Acoustics, not Audio Technica. My apologies to Audio Technica. (My memory is getting sort of foggy.)
Original post:
Hello all,
I've got a customer's turntable here with a Shure M105E p-mount cartridge in it. The stylus is fine, but the cartridge itself has an open winding. I've seen this in Audio Technica and Grado cartridges over the years, but never before in a Shure. Any chance you've got a good body without a stylus you'd part with? (In the USA preferred. I'll gladly pay shipping.)
Thanks! Tim Schwartz Bristol Electronics
