Garrard 95 Repair Time

I recently picked up a garrard synchro-lab 95 for the unbeatable price of $10. I need to start locating parts for it, as it needs at the very least a replacement counterweight. Did the 95 and 95B use the same counterweight and tonearm design?

I also need a replacement stylus, looks like it says Shure ET2 on it. A quick google lead me to find that it was likely the original cart of a shure 75E95G (meaning it was the shure cart made specifically for the garrard 95 tables?). I'll follow this post up with some pictures as help would be greatly appreciate. The platter spins relatively noise free, so hopefully it's already been serviced to get rid of the classic gunk issues. If anyone has any input I'd love to hear it!

Cartridge looks like something in the M75 family.

The gunk is usually on the mechanism underneath. Typically it comes off with alcohol but mineral spirits or acetone might be needed if its real bad.

As far as I know the M75s are pretty well regarded. Worth getting a new needle for it? Any thoughts on the counterweight?
 
Noticed there doesn't appear to be a counterweight on the end of the tone arm. Do you have it?
 
Big fan of the Shure M75 here!
Bought a Jico elliptical replacement stylus for mine and it plays really well for the buck, both on my Garrard Zero 100 and Dual 601.
Seems to be a good match for the Little bear t10 tube phono preamp too :rockon:.
 
The M75 and it's siblings the M91 and M93 are quite good. I'd go for a stylus. I've got a couple of M75's and an M93 around here.
