I have done research into this issue of the ULM arm, the sled, the ortofon carts etc. Enclosed are pictures of mine. The cartridge just fell of the headshell in pieces. Don't know what it is supposed to look like when normal. The cylinder that says Ortofon on it just lays on the headshell, does not fit tightly and I don't know how it is supposed to fit in there.DSC00841.JPG DSC00841.JPG

Ebay doesn't have any whole carts with the headshell, so IF the one above is broken, I will go with the sleds available, and then what type of cartridge? High or low compliance?

Thx.
 
Those are actually easy to put back together with a bit of glue. There are good pics around if you search. Vinyl Engine has some good ones for example.

However the one side that you dont show I would be concerned about. That's the top which gets clamped onto the tonearm by the finger lift as it swivels forward. There are 2 "hooks" on there that easily get broken and when that happens it's hard or even impossible to use the cartridge.
