Sorry to disagree, but originally, there were two headshells with this deck. each with a single stylus. One headshell had a green flash on the top, with a stylus for 78, and the other a red flash and a stylus for 45/33. On the OPs' deck, the flash has been removed, and a hole drilled through to hold the present Acos cartridge.

Isn't the Shure a magnetic cartridge? If so. then the output will be far too low for the amp in this player, given that the original was crystal.
