Ferguson Studio 30D stylus
Hi everyone,
I am trying to source a replacement stylus for my Ferguson Studio 30D. I cannot seem to find one anywhere so far. I am wondering if you folks know of another stylus that will fit that is easily available. If there is nothing can you tell me what Cartridge I can fit that will do the job. Many thanks to you all, Dave. |

Re: Ferguson Studio 30D stylus
There is only ONE stylus that will fit the cartridge fitted to the 30D. The question is... what cartridge is fitted? If it's not the original, it could be any one of hundreds. We need a make and number of the cartridge, or a close-up photo of it. If the cartridge is still working, forget replacing it, a replacement will cost you a lot of money, as they are getting extremely hard to get.

Re: Ferguson Studio 30D stylus
Thankyou guys for the prompt reply.
I am away until wednesday, as soon as I get back I will take pictures for you so you can ID the cartridge. I seem to remember it was all black with no numbers at all so a pic it will have to be. |

Re: Ferguson Studio 30D stylus
I seem to remember we sold one or two of these in the shop I worked in many years ago. All the pictures that I can find show a magnetic cartridge and one site lists it as a Sonotone V100 although another picture shows what looks like a Shure M75-6 fitted.
If it is a V100 then Mantra Audio list it on their website https://shop.mantra-audio.co.uk/acat...0D-MA0439.html |

Re: Ferguson Studio 30D stylus
James, thank you,
I believe this might be the the stylus I needed and could not find online. I have ordered one and hopefully it will be okay. I have included some pics of the cartridge below. There were no numbers visble anywhere on the cartridge. http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...a/IMG_5901.jpg |

Well that looks just like a Sonotone V100 cartridge to me.
