There was a company called EEI Australia that made the Elite EEI 500
moving magnetic pickup cartridge (and a moving-coil model)

Does any one know what happened to them?

** Think you are mistaken.

Elite Electronics ( ie Max Townshend ) of the UK made the EEI
cartridges.

Thanks for the replies. I based my origninal post on this article:

** The article say the EEI cartridge was made in Japan.

There is no mention of an " EEI Australia".


To quote from a label inside the original package:

"Manufactured in Japan to exact specifications for I.E.E. Australia"
