Thanks, for your help! so you would recommend keeping this cartridge over the M44-7?
Thanks, I will keep this one and pickup the stylus you sent the linked to. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks Again
You have a Shure M95ED cartridge which is excellent. For your particular turntable, you'll want a slightly stiffer stylus than the N95ED (yellow grip). The best stylus for that cartridge in your tone-arm is the N95EJ (light green grip). It tracks between 1.5 and 3 grams, perfect for a high quality changer.

I think the cartridge is very good and worth keeping, downgrading to the EJ stylus (tracked around 1.75-1.8 on a good SL 95B) will do fine. When my local once Garrard dealer sold them new, he preferred buyers use a M75EJ or similar type option in one, the N95EJ is a great choice in yours.
This is what it looks like.
Great advice.I usually clean the brass motor pulley with a q-tip dipped in alcohol, also the inner rim of the platter with a rag dipped in alcohol.
The rubber disk, aka idler wheel, can be revived by carefully removing it from chassis and scrubbing the circumfrence with a green scotch pad and hot water.
When removing the idler, pay attention to the c-clip and any washers (sometimes clear plastic) and their exact location. Clean them with a rag. Place a drop of oil on the shaft that the idler rides on when re-installing the idler.

I did a little more cleaning today and I very lightly scrubbed the idler wheel with a scotch pad and hot water. What effect should this have on the wheel? Thanks
