Seeking cartridge I32 for a 1962 Model S600 Magnavox imperial micromatic. I have no sound on the turntable, and the repair guy said it needs a cartridge. This is for my mom's and she is lost without it to play her 45's on and it is sentimental for her. Any ideas where I can ask to find one? Tried E-bay and google, but no success.

Check the archives....

Radio Shack (limited)
and a host of others. Can't remember them all right now, but they are out there.
Use different words like "phongraph stylis/cartridge/needles, etc." You're bound to get a few hits.
I forgot to mention...those older micromatics have several alternative cartridges that will fit and work just as well. Just make sure the new cartridge has the same output voltage so that you will have ample volume. The newer micromatics with the slender tonearm took that skinny EV-275 cartridge and its counterparts and only put out about .25 volts.
