Pretty sure he said it was a p-mount cartridge...Those have no head shell...The cart plugs into the end of the arm shaft like a head shell. There should be no user configurable wiring on the cart since P-mount carts all had a standard 4-pin plug on the back that mated to a standard socket on the arm.
