BTW, those styli are still readily available. So, if you want a fresh one or an upgrade or whatever, they're out there. But the 30 and 40 aren't going to be cheap..........

This place has become a virtual wasteland for gear at thrifts. My last score was a pair of Realistic Nova 6's for $6. Good garage system speakers, sound pretty good.

I have a B&O 4002 with one channel dead and a Revox B-795 that works just fine but has the wrong cartridge in it. Gotta have a high compliance cart in those things.
