eBay is pretty much your only game for originals. The headshells for all models from the TT through the XB77 are interchangeable. The only difference is that the later black ones tend to be a bit lighter in weight than the older gray ones.

Some people have managed to tweak non-AR headshells to fit as well, but almost always with the result that the pivot-to-stylus length is wrong.

Thanks.

Back to my gluing table!

Trouble is those brass inserts come out. I guess gluing them back in will do--although my first try is not a success.

BTW, do you know, are the threads different from most mounting screws?
I'm having more difficulty than I'd expected.
Just got up and running now by using NOS screws that came from AR, in 1964.

But I have only a couple of those.
