It's on my Dual 1226. I have a low-end Shure stylus on there now. Looking to upgrade. Thanks!
Shure M75. A nice, fat sounding, beginner’s cartridge.

What he said!I think it's a Shure M70/M70EJ, not an M75.
Yes, looks exactly like Shure M70B I used to have. A nice cartridge that will also accept M75 styli.
while you're replacing the stylus, you might also tend to the "bit" of corrosion on the cart wires, and the pins on the back of the cart.
anything that will clean electrical contacts. maybe a bit of very fine sand paper on the cart pins. a twist or two.With DeOxit I presume? I have DeOxit spray as well as the red and gold tube stuff - any input on which I should use?
By the way, it was a M70EJ - confirmed!
Personally, I like fat sounding cartridges. Nice round bottom, lush or whatever one chooses to call it. I've gone through several Japanese ones and a spate of moving coils (in the 1990's) but always gravitated back to Shures & Stantons. Just recently I got a new stylus for an old Empire body I never used but kept for 37 years - just because.Cool, thanks! Is "fat sounding" good? Maybe upgrading my stylus would be an option until I get some surplus funds.
