Broke my Shure M75EJ type 2 Stylus - Where to get replacement

[mbhangui]

I accidentally broke my stylus on my Shure M75EJ type 2 cartridge fitted on my Akai AP-002 turntable. What are the stylus options and where can I get a replacement? Should I take this as an opportunity to buy a new cartridge ?

I am a newbie with regards to turntables. Forum members, let me know your suggestions

Hi,

Bad news, anyway you can mail Mr. Neeraj ( [email protected] ). SHure dealer in Delhi. She should be able to help you. Normally he is prompt with email replies.

From SHURE stylus,SHURE needle stylus,SHURE stylus needle,SHURE cartridge stylus,SHURE styli,SHURE needle styli,SHURE styli needle,SHURE cartridge styli is $65.

From here Shure replacement stylus is $50.

This seller is much cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shure-N75EC...table_Parts&hash=item45fd1aa73e#ht_500wt_1054 but there's no mention that it is genuine Shure.

I would trust either of these two models here:
JICO stylus

Lots of options, I'd say

Thank you Jls001. I am looking at your links. Hope to close one of the options today. Found this too on ebay.in for rs 3200.

You are most welcome mbhangui, I am also planning to get M44-7 from the guy.

JICO is a better option.

My headshell supports standard mount. If I want to replace the cartridge also, will shure 97xe be a good replacement?

Sachin is right. Its price is around 5500/-. Even when i asked for the quote, he quoted even more, 8500/- INR for 97Xe. Anyway I am settling with m44-7 @4900/-...not a bad cart. at all!!

Thank You. Let me save some money. I will fix my paypal account today. I think I have to enter some "Purpose Code" or something.

I think purpose code is only for receiving payments in Paypal account.Buy it from KABUSA.You will need to ask for a shipping code from Kevin(Kabusa).Please opt shipping with tracking no.This will come in a small packet and may not attract any duty.
BTW: KABUSA is very useful site.There are few good info regarding TTs.

You get Mx97E for much less (I mean much less) than 8000 from Electronic Emporium, Mumbai. Contact Jerry 9820901941. Better than the M75 too.

i think he quoted 5500 for the MX97, which i think is kinda fair
