Can anyone identify this Audio Technica cartridge? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi all
Picked up a tidy but seized up Garrard 125SB turntable at a car boot which is fitted with a magnetic AT cartridge with red stylus as per the attached pic. Can anyone tell me which cartridge it is and if the stylus has a part number as the stylus is worn out and i'd like to replace it.
Many thanks
Rich

My guess is AT93, check out Mantra Audio, theyre close to you in Selby.

Depending on the cost of the stylus for it you may be better off upgrading it to the newer AT95.

...or even the AT-91 at about £17.

I thought Audiotechnica cartridges had a plate on the back to identify what it was. Have you looked?

Good point, many have the model number printed on the aluminium trim which forms the front and top of the cartridge, but you obviously have to remove the cartridge from the headshell to see it.

OTOH, the AT91 and AT95 are not marked.

Cart is AT-70.

Stylus is ATN-70. http://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/grap...1/ATN70_md.jpg
