Kriesler 11-30

My pride & joy (this week anyway) is my 1953 Kriesler 11-30 radiogram, made in Sydney Australia, which uses one BSR's first electric turntables- a "GU-4".
The radio works, but I'm about to send her out for a recap, and once that's complete, the next step is to track down a replacement cartridge, which is unlike any other cartridge I've encounted before. If that fails, luckily I've got a spare tonearm I can alter to take a more conventional flip-over cartridge, keeping the original incase an authentic replacement cartridge can be found in the future.
