Picked up another tt for the head shell/cartridge last week that needed some cleaning so I decided to clean a few that I have around. This is one box. About a dozen belong to various tts I have. Given some by a guy I bought a Sansui from who got stuff from estate sales. Said he had no use for them. I bought a large lot from an estate of an electronics repair person. It appeared he did a lot of surplus buying.

Looks like my box of "some-days" as in some day I may want or need this..... I can't pass up a good quality vintage pickup at yard sales. My box of Empire pickups is stuffed to the gills.

Got anything nice in that box?

Couple Shure V15 IV bodies, Shure Super XLM Mk II, Ortofon OM 20, Ortofon N 120, Grado Silver, Sony VL-5, Sony XL33L (MC), ADC III .... So maybe one or two good ones .

Any decent headshells? We had a member looking for an SME headshell.

I'd like one! Raises hand high!

There was a guy on AK, IIRC Brocluna? Made a neat wall mounted caddy to hold the carts and headshells upright, looked really cool, just a thought.

Maybe those that are still allowed to grace AK's prescence could pull up a pic?? I'm not bitter, ! Dave and Eric [I][B]Not!

Nice- as I find myself with ever-diminishing space, something like headshells and cartridges are becoming a new fetish.

I have only one empire- a 2000 something, an adc oddball model, a Shure, a Grado, three ATs, three signets, a B&O, a Stanton, an Osawa, maybe a few more.

Since I've got two SME arms and 7 sonys, the Sony headshells and SMEs are what I dig for most.

I have only one SME and it's on the tonearm. I would imagine some of these headshells (Sony, Toshiba, Sansui, Pioneer etc and a number of unmarked) are nice but that would have to be determined. Did pick up a Pioneer PL-512 today because it had an excellent Shure V15 III mounted (see in "Solid State" above).
