Cartridge replacement

by Les » Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:36 am

Need your help. Can anyone recommend cartridge alternatives for the Sonotone 2T-LB and Sonotone 2T-SD. The Sonotone 2T-SD is used in my VM record player, model 557 and the Sonotone 2T-LB is used in my Silvertone record player/radio, model 9043. These old cartridges just do not track well and love to devour
vinyl. The trickiest is the Silvertone with the Syntronic turntable because of the narrow tonearm head. Would really appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks, Les

Consult with Gary Stork and visit his website the "Voice of Music" site for info.
Gary knows V-M stuff as well as other brands and can suggest a suitable cartridge replacement.
The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.
