TheEvan Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I bought my son a 70's JVC DD turntable ($20) to replace his cheapo unit. It has a Shure M111he cartridge. Sucker rides very low and only garbled signal comes forth. I figure it must be shot. There's an NOS N111he replacement stylus on ebay right now sitting at $20. Should I? Or shouldn't I? If not, what?

Cal Blacksmith Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I can't help with the Shure but I could sharpen a sewing needle and you could super glue it on the cantilever! It worked for all of our old 78s on the crank up Victrolla [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 The Shure web site guide says they are NLA, so if you want to stick with the cartridge, go for it. Are you sure the stylus is the only problem? Since you will need another replacement after this one eventually it might be better to find a new cartridge.

www.records Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 If you like the Shure sound, I think I would just get a new Shure M97xe for $57 from jacksmusicfactory. The rubber suspensions on older units can dry out, so you would be taking a chance with a cart that old. The 97xe's are an excellent cart for the price.
