anyone recognise this cartridge, on a technics sl-1300 ?
Is there anything written on the top? You'll probably have to remove it from the headshell to find out.

There were zillions of those around in Canada, often branded (sometimes with a just a simple sticker!) for large hifi shops.

I -think- the actual mfgr was called Excel. Low-compliance mostly, although there was a version with elliptical stylus.

Don't lose any sleep over it, just get yourself a better one...

thanks, someone suggested a sonotone - theres nothing on the top,
