Time to part with my terrific Super OM40 Cartridge by Ortofon. It has maybe 75 hours as I only played it on my now-sold Rega RP1 when vinyl nostalgia hit. New, when available they sell for $400+. Currently on eBay a used one with box is selling for $361, and a stylus alone is $200. Since I don't have the box I'm selling for just $215 shipped to all 50 states (Priority), and $225 to Canada.

    I hate to give those tools at LP Gear any press, but need to leave it for credit on that pic. GLWTS

    I seem to remember that the 80's, early 90's edition came with a Van Den Hul tip, am I right?
