I have a vintage Grado M1+ cart on my TT.
It has a gold body, brown Stylus with two
yellow dots. According to the Grado site, it
is the equivelant of the gold series.
I looked on the link that was given and didn't
see it there......
Oh...... I had a great idea, and looked at the
paperwork that came with my cart. It lists color
codes for replacement stylus!!! Here's what it says:
MODEL.....COLOR.....STYLUS.....COLOR CODING
P-M/S..... Brown.....Grado ell.......Brown Plate
P-M1/S.....Brown.....Twin Tip......Two Yellow Dots
P-M2/S.....Brown.....Twin Tip......Two Gold Dots
Hope that can help you.

Hi and welcome to AK!
On the Grado stylus assembly, the stylus is mounted on a plastic plate that slides into the lower body slot of the cartridge.
On either front edge of the plastic plate will be a raised half round dot.
These dots are painted with a color code which will indicate the type of stylus/cantilever that is used and this determines the type of cartridge the Grado is. (unless there has been some swapping of styli and cartridges).
So, now go back and check and let us know if you see any paint on those dots. If there is no paint, I assume then the plate color is the dot color.
Hope that helps.
