Audio Technica Slim Line Headshell

[Orlando S.]

I own a Sansui SR-929 turntable, got it used about 6 years ago.
The original headshell had been removed, and in it's place was an Audio Technica.
I recently found this headshell for sale for € 199 on this site: http://www.audioscope.net/audio-technica-slim-line-p-1288.html

Does anyone have any info on this headshell? Why on earth does it cost that much online?

I had one of those, didn't like it as it was too light for my TT. I bought it with the original AT-140ML cartridge. It is not worth what they are asking IMO. It is solid aluminum.

Slimline AT Headshell

This on and similar headshells show up on Ebay posted by sellers from Japan, usually sell for around $25. Nothing real special re this headshell. I have a Nagaoka headshell which is almost identical and the same weight and payed around $20 for it, probably a rebranded AT headshell.
