    Philips GA 212 Stylus / Cartridge

    I'm attempting to research a new stylus for my turntable and keep coming across specs & terms that send me down more rabbit holes; suspension, Shibata, diamond size, etc. I read that an old cartridge can have bad suspension? My father bought the turntable new before I was born and replaced the...

    Can somebody please help?

    Looking at a blueprint of the turntable, I am seeing that this piece may be called a "Cueing arm?" Anyway, it has crazy glue in it and so the needle will not go down and reach the record because the glued metal piece or "cueing arm" does not move down any lower. Any advice?
