Mystery Headshell

[jlovda]

Does anyone know what turntable brand or model this headshell came from? I found it at a flea market. It has a Shure M75E 95G Type 2 cartridge. The stylus is damaged.

Thanks

Looks DUALish.

Possibly Garrard?

Dual or Garrard would be my guess also. Maybe it's from a Garrard that had the turning headshell, don't remember the model.

There was a thread that had this particular model, it's from a Dual IIRC.

And it looks like cloth covered wires. Pretty old. I would say dual or garrard too.

the Zero-100 family. I think the Garrard one is a little more flat, but without yanking mine I won't swear to that. Duals also are supposed to take something like this, but I've never owned a Dual.

If it's a Dual, it would have to be from the 1009 family or earlier. I have also never seen a Dual with springs to sort of float the cartridge below the headshell. With the cartridge saying 95G I wonder if it is a Garrard?

There is an auction for a spring loaded cartridge at eBay. I am not going to put a link, because that will move this post to the $$ forum, but search for "Rare Dual 1019 Spring Headshell Holder Shure Cartridge" and look at the picture. It's her, isn't it?

I cannot find it in completed or active. Could you please just post the 10-12 digit number?

Thanks

That Shure cartridge was designed specifically for use with a Garrard turntable, hence the "G" in the model name. Shure made a similar sprung cartridge for use with Duals. They had a "D" in the model name.

I have a dual 1009 spring headshell that looks just like it.

Edit. Mine has a spring but once I expanded the picture (should have done that first) it is slightly different. Sorry

 

[wapfunz]

Maybe BSR

 

[KentTeffeteller]

Not Dual, Garrard SL-95b era. I know, once owned several.

I had a Dual 1009F and the headshell was similar but that is not it. Contacts on the Dual were different. My vote goes to Garrard Zero-100.

dusting off an oldie here. The manuals are available via shure now.

I have an m75e-95g type 2 that came stock with an sl95 (not b) turntable. This cart was designed for this specific table, and it's damn near impossible to make it skip without hitting the actual table, laterally only.

Yes, Garrard. There were a few variations of that carrier. I have two different ones and both fit the Zero 100 I own. There might be others and not all may be interchangeable. This one was what came with the Zero 100 when I got it. What's on it now is slightly different.
