Cartridge was mounted on SME headshell a few years ago by TC Tubes in St. Paul. I don’t know a lot about cartridges but he examined the stylus and said there was plenty of life left in it. Both the headshell and cartridge came from a Japanese audiophile collector. I never used the cartridge once since I’ve had it. I ended up using a Ortofon bronze on my thorens and this has been sitting in a drawer since. I’m trying to shed some of the stuff I have sitting around not getting use. Comes with what you see in pictures.
