    Beocenter 3300 Cartridge and Tonearm replacement?

    Hi Guys,

     

    I am new to this forum but I am currently reviving a BC3300 and need some advice/info.

    When I got the center it wouldn't power up, simple problem the Off mechanism jams so after stripping and releasing everything works fine. Problem 2 however looks bigger! The stylus was bent so I now need to purchase a new one. Only the MMC4000 seems to be rather pricey.Does anyone know of a cheaper replacement which fits or failing that can I change the tonearm?

     

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Hello Jamie

     

    You can use any MMC20 (S/E/EN/CL), SP15 and the older MMCxxxx (3000/4000/5000/6000). Be aware that there is a slight chance of some units to have age-related problems like hardening of the suspension inside.

    There is also the possibility of getting your cartridge retipped by Axel Schürholz at http://schallplattennadeln.de/

    He will replace the suspension an stylus with new components and make your cartrigde sound like a new one.

     

    Cheers,

    Søren
