89t mono flip-under holder

New replacement 89t plug-in monophonic cartridge/stylus assembly that fits most of the Audiotronix, Califone, Newcomb and many other record players of the 60's - 70's era. This also fits the standard flip-under holder that was very popular as a replacement in the late 50's - 70's. Although these are monophonic only, they are compliant with stereo recordings. Unlike the original "mono" cartridges, you can safely play stereo records without fear of damage.

This is designed to plug into a holder with a "flip-under" action (see right image above).

Please note although this stylus is no easier to break than others, care must be used when replacing and using any needle, stylus assembly. You cannot return a broken stylus.

Caution,

improper handling when installing
raking it across the record or turntable
dropping the arm on the record or turntable
 allowing the stylus to come in contact with the moving turntable surface

Observe the images above and note the proper way to handle and install the stylus/cartridge assembly. When removing and installing, grip only by the small nubs on either side of stylus. When removing the stylus/cartridge assembly, grip with thumb & forefinger and pull it forward, out of holder, note which side the tiny ribs are on and make sure you push the new one in place the same way the old one came out. Never handle or apply pressure to the center part of the assembly, that is the stylus (needle) and it can be damaged with improper handling.

I hope this helps you to install your new stylus/cartridge assembly.
