Replacement Sonotone Stylus for BUSH SRP41 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Ekcoman · 17th Nov 2019, 7:14 pm

Have to replace a stylus on the cartridge which in the Operating Instructions says N8TAS or N8TASAD. It plays ok but suspect it is sapphire so probably had its day.
The cartridge appears to be working fine (at the moment)
Im not having a great deal of luck finding one on-line so wondering if there is an alternative reference number. Appreciate any help...thanks

My SRP41 had a Sonotone 8T4A if I remember correctly. You could try the following: Mantra Audio; The Stylus Lady; Gettheneedle.co.uk; Musonic.
I’m sure there are many more out there but these are the ones I’ve used in the past.
Cheers
John

Thanks John. Think I've cracked it as they are referenced under the cartridge rather than the stylus reference.

I can supply these styli if you can't get one easily - but you'd have to wait until next month.

That's very kind Ben, much appreciated. Have found one on an auction site so hopefully got it right.
