what type of cartridge/ stylus should i buy

Jico makes a common bonded elliptical replacement stylus for the type 3 which is available for around $12.00 on ebay. It is referred to as the EVG stylus replacement for the Shure V15 type lll. Needledaddy is a good vendor as is needle lady. Avoid the Phansteil replacement stylus as it is not very good and QC does not seem consistant.

If you are looking for new, the Audio Technica AT95E is marvelous, a good match to the tonearm and costs $40.00 to $50.00.

Good luck with the hunt.

Thanks for the input,i'll check that out.also does anyone know where I can get a replacement dust cover for this turntable?..thanks

viridian, whats the difference between the evg stylus replacement as opposed to the jico sas stylus? it sells anywhere from $160.00-$180

The EVG is a bonded elliptical stylus on an aluminum cantilever. The SAS
is a bonded radical cut stylus on a hybrid boron/aluminum cantilever. You
pay your money and take your choice.
