Gray research model 306 headshell needed

[rrago]

I am restoring a russco studio table for a client. It came to me equipped with a Gray #306 tonearm (the woodem one) without a headshell.

Any advice would be helpful .

only thing I can tell you, and you may already know this, the 303 headshell is not the same despite looking virtually identical.

Most of us familiar with the 303/306 will refer to them as MicroTrak, so you might get more responses by adding that to your title.
Ironically, I am using a 306 that suffered a mishap 50 years ago when I got it from my buddy. We were teenagers at the time and used epoxy to attach the headshell, the wood and black plastic insulating sleeve were broken. The headshell is no longer removable. Great tonearms! Add damping fluid to the pillar.

Have a 303 myself, the damping fluid is important but a real PITA to add. I had to use a syringe and inject small amounts while the center part of the pillar was being turned slowly in my lathe. It absolutely would not take any fluid without the center pivot being rotated.

Can you post a picture of the end of the tone arm where the pin terminals are. I have three types of headshells. If I can see the spacing of the grooves, I might be able to help.
