A couple days ago I realized the cartridge needed to be replaced. Not knowing the price of a B &amp; O cartridge for the make at the time of purchase I am stuck with having to pay $150 to $200 for a new cartridge. Is it possible to replace the cartridge with a compatible, and much cheaper unit?</p> <p>This the cartridge:</p> <p>Cartridge size MMC 4</p> <p>Thanks</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
