Garrard 640s cartridge and needle
Greetings from Ecuador. I am the owner of the equipment described and I am looking for the cartridge and needle for the equipment that has accompanied me all these wonderful years.
If anyone can help me with any comments where I could get them I would greatly appreciate it. |

Re: garrard 640s cartridge and needle
Post a photo of what is fitted so we can ID it. Is this a standalone deck or incorporated as part of a music centre?

If you are looking to replace the Garrard KS 41C cartridge, I suggest you make contact with Carole's Needles in Krebs, Oklahoma, USA. or search out on Google.

Re: Garrard 640s cartridge and needle
That cartridge is a Sonotone 3509/3559. It is definitely broken as the suspension is missing. Sadly a lot of these have deteriorated due to age, though I have repaired a few.
You might have to replace this with a more modern ceramic cartridge like the Banpa or Chuo Denshi clones available on ebay and other places online. Make sure you buy one with the mounting clip.
