BIC 40z headshell replacement

[zoombrewer77]

I recently acquired a BIC 40z. I love almost everything about this table, but I would really like to replace the headshell for a more user friendly model. Does anyone know of any headshell on the market that might fit my tonearm?

If I'm not mistaken that isn't a removable headshell. If I'm right, I wouldn't mess with it unless you want to f up the thing. Do you have any pics?

The 20Z I owned had a screw on the bottom of the headshell that you would loosen. After it was loose you could rotate the headshell counter clockwise. This would give better access to the cart for anything you wanted to do.

Mine is exactly like that. Oh well.

I'll get some pics when I get home from work.

You can get it off but finding another type to fit is pretty much impossible because it is a proprietary design.

This is an elegant answer to a rather inelegant question. Thank you sir.
