The old (Shure) cartridge I use has two clear holes for fixing it into
the
headshell of the arm. The actual headshell has one clear hole. So I
also
have an adaptor plate which has tapped holes. (Or nuts in captive
slots.
Can't recall which, and they are hidden in use!)

I have been looking at modern cartridges and noticed that it is common
for
them to have blind tapped holes for fixing purposes.

So, do cartridge manufacturers now routinely supply adaptors for
headshells
and arms that *don't* have two clear holes/slots?

Slainte,

Jim

The screws go down through the headshell into the cartridge.`
I would have thought that was obvious!

Yes, but what if you don't have a headshell. Your 774 for example.

Elastic band or Sellotape will do for that.
