How can I identify this unlabeled cartige

Hi all, I bought a not working dual. The cartige is there but the stylus is not. However, also there is no any information about the cartige. How can I identify that? How can find replacement stylus for that. Finally, if anyone can identify it can you comment about its sound?

Best.

You can still get a replacement for the Excel ES70s cart. It's a conical diamond. The other? no clue.
 
Shure looks like an M91E (or a clone thereof) to me.

Sorry Walt but that is a M91E not ED as those, as you should know have the plastic bodies.

Yes, that's right - you can also see the Shure 'Easy Mount' clip that the cartridge clips into, which was on the metal-bodied M91E and M91G, but not the later plastic-bodied M91ED.:thmbsp:
 
My fingers just don't know any better. Won't type what I tell 'em. And after all the times they wrestled with that #$%@! clip...

Now, the interesting thing is that the Excel ES-70 body is almost a Japanese M91E. Nearly the same size and shape. Close enough that an ES-70 stylus will fit and work, sort of, in the M91E or ED.

Good to know. I never really compared them to that extent though both have passed through here in quantity.
 
It's a shure m75-6s,I have a couple of them ,the m75 has the metal holder and there are plenty of stylus about for them .

For some reason, the Excels seemed to wind up in Canada. You lucky guys. It's a very interesting little cartridge with some surprisingly high performance styli. There's even a special low-inductance CD-4 variant.
