What stylus do I need for Magnavox console?

Posted by tommytube (A) on November 20, 2014 at 16:35:18

I received an early 60's Magnavox console. Nice little EL84 tube amp inside. I'd like to get some recommendations for the stylus on the turntable. Current one works but I wonder if it's ever been replaced?

Do I remove the current stylus by just unscrewing the bolt on the headshell?

I see a bunch of candidates under a generic ceramic title on Needle Doc. A lot of choices and all about $20. How particular do I have to be?

I attached a link to Needledoctor's Electro-Voice lineup. Not sure which one would be appropriate or if there's a better alternative.

Any help would be appreciated.

Like Opus said, find out which cartridge is in that arm. - olddude55 06:34:55 11/21/14 (1)

You would need to identify the cartridge make and model to find - Opus 33 1/3 17:00:55 11/20/14 (0)
