Default Re: Ronette Cartridge Identity

I have found the repro one to be ok. It needs 5g or so tracking weight but sounds fine. I bought a Goldring NOS one a while ago and the repro is better than that, possibly because the NOS one had deteriorated. It came from South Africa so I doubt that damp would have been a problem.

You need to do some modifications to the repro one to fit it into the original holder but it is worth it as it looks much better. In particular the selector knob on the repro is very crudely made. If you want to go down that route I can post the modifications needed.
