I bought a GE changer in that SAME plastic cabinet from an antique shop in the mid 90's...So some considered it antique then...

Sometimes the correct cart is NLA or costs more than the TT will ever be worth; in those cases specing out a sub can work.
I'd look for a Sam's for it. It may list the cart and if it doesn't then it ought to give you an idea of the input voltage expected from the cart. Any cart with that output voltage, the right styli for the record types it can play, reasonably close tracking force, and compatible mounting methods can be made to work.

The record players from this era would be considered more vintage than antique. You can find replacement cartridges and needles at the Voice of Music website. The link is http://www.thevoiceofmusic.com/ The owners name is Gary and is who you ask for if you need any help. I've been dealing with him for years and he is an excellent resource for stuff like this. Good Luck!

I picked one up about a year ago. The grease had dried up, just like the BSR's. The cartridge has low output and to get any volume the volume has to be maxed. As a result, there is a lot of audio hum. Nice shape otherwise.
