Don't know anything about it, looked it up just now.

Looks like a small/slight conical stylus.
Stylus: 0.5 mil diamond (PN-35)
Stylus pressure: 2 to 3g
Replacement is still available at LPgear.

Hope this helps to get you spinning again.

Yeah, there isnt much out there on this vintage cart. I have one that came with my pl-50. I kind of assumed it was crap because I didnt know any better, and I replaced it with a dl-110. I've decided that I dont like the dl-110 on the pl50 because you have to use the weight plate, which restricts you from putting the cart at the recommended 49" overhang. I was thinking of trying the original cart again, and moving the denon to my newly aquired pl-600.
anyway, long winded.. who knows something about this cart?

oh well, took a chance. ordered the new stylus from lpgear. it will be nice to have another cart to try on this beast.
Sorry to bring up this thread again but I have a Pioneer PL A25 TT and would like to replace the cart with something new any recommendations?

What is your budget for a new cartridge?:scratch2:
What type of music do you listen to mostly?
What is the original cartridge?
You may want to replace, upgrade the stylus and keep it as a back up.

cant speak to the a25 tt, but I can say that I did not fancy the pc35 with replacement stylus. it wasnt terrible, but it really brought out a lot of surface noise. much more so then the denon. completely different stylus' is the reason I believe. since then, I accidently broke the pc35 stylus during a repair. so, my next choice is going to be THIS
should be nice with this arm. I was going to try one of the denon MC's. but since I'd have to get a new pre or SUT, I decided to go with something different. Its Howard recommended, so its got to be good!!

My budget is somewhere around the $300.00 area and it wouldbe replacing a Pioneer PC-35 cartridge w/PM-35 stylus.
I listen to mainly blues based rock from the '60s,'70s & '80s. Some of the newer stuff but very little.
Let me give a little insight about this TT. I found it on the 'Bay and it is NOS from 1970 and I just had to have it. It is in pristine shape because it was never out of the box. The cartridge is brand new so I really would'nt have to replace it but I thought a nicer cart would be cool. So thats my story! It truly was a find.

Well thanks,Its taken me a while to put it all together,but Im getting there.I dont have much compared to many others on here. Its a damn fun addiction though. Im just not very Turntable savy. But I sure like to play 'em.I was thinking about unloading my CR-2020 after I get my SX-1250 back (not sure) from Echowars. He is doing a refurb for me and the Yammie is one of my back ups.But you know how that goes I might just build another system! LOL
One of the guys at Needle Doc said that a MC cartridge might be to much for my tonearm,but see this is where I fall short on knowledge so I dont know what to do. What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks for the kind words!
Learning about the different aspects of audio has been fun.
The guys at Needle Doc are pros, so their views cannot be disregarded.
Have fun and enjoy the music.
Update
Well the Ortofon 2M Blue would'nt fit the headshell, which cannot be exchanged, so I sent it back and I am going with the AT-440 for now. Will keep you posted on sound.

I actually have two PC-35 cartridges I got when I bought a Pioneer Pl-31D TT at GW. One was mounted on the headshell, the other was NIB. I really like this cart and didn't hear any enhanced surface noise.

Count me in as a PC-35 fanatic. I love this cartridge and it's very musical. Ya don't want yours, begin a conversation. I need a body.
