Original and brand spanking new!



Looks good but I still wonder if it _really_ is made by Ortofon as
it says 'colour may vary from the original' I'd be interested to
hear if/when you get it as I've got a few Ortofon cartridges.


Probably as original as this:

Have I ****ed up? New to this.... First time I got the Pioneer deck out of
the cupboard since Woolies sold styli. Partner is a sound engineer and it
needs to be right.

Batteries Online returned my email within half an hour or so with a very
helpful (it seems) bit of advice, now you guys are making me question my
original elation at finding a replacement styli in these digital, no moving
parts, not user servicable times.....

Well, I got lots of albums that have all been through many parties, lots of
hands and much mauling in the dark so if it works reasonably it'll be
ok..... i quite miss a little hiss and rumble....
