Garage-a-Records has the Astatic 89T cartridge. Click on ceramic cartridges and choose the Brand. It's right up near the top of the page. The cartridge for the 33/45 speeds was reduced to $19.95, and the one for 78 is $17.95. Radio Shack used to have them a few years ago for about half price (or less)...can't remember right now. Radio Shack still does have the Magnavox 560345(?) needle for $5.99. There is also a little blue GE stylus that works as well. Some GE turntables used a small cartridge like those in the W620 turntables with a similar mount and I have used those in the ElectroVoice/Astatic cartridges. --BB
