The Shure M95 G -LM was made for Dual turn tables, the G stylus was a Spherical (0.6 mils) stylus.

You can use most Shure M-95 xx stylus.

Maybe you would not want to get involve with a different series of of Shure cartridge at this time.

LM mounts are not easily adaptable to other 1/2 inch headshell uses.

LM mount is big hole on dual headshel I suppose and also cartridge have plastic what goes into that hole and clips on it?

The M95 series of cartridges are excellent but the LM series will only fit Dual turntables. The N95G stylus is, as @Balifly stated, a .6 mil conical tip, nothing wrong with that. You can also mount the N95ED or N95HE in it.

There is no maybe about it.

You can find M95 cartridges with standard housing for not much money. Unless you are into modding, then you could remove the plastic housing and make your own 1/2" mounting block.

But Mr. Zagreb, this particular example is missing two plastic locating pins. You can see where they have broken off. So, it will not even fit a Dual shell now.

The other thing you can do, since you have a SL 1900, is to buy an after-market headshell for it and glue the LM cartridge to the head-shell.

@NoTransistors Seller is obviously broke this parts from cartridge that is fitted to half inch headshell. For me this is not good. If I goi to do that this mean that this cartridge does not look like is broken, it will look and fit on 1/2" haeadshell like original.

@malden No way because that for this price when I bought this cartridge, needle for cartridge and headshell I can to buy new sealed Shure M97xE and put it on standard 1/2" headshell.

 

[NoTransistors]

The M95ED is a superior-sounding cartridge when compared to the new M97xE.

So you already have the cartridge?

EDIT: I just re-read your post, it sounds like this cartridge won't work for you.
