I recently purchased a TX turntable from an estate. It was in an absolute mint condition. It Included the original manual and some original advertising catalogues. I am a greenback as far as B&O are concerned. The turntable included what appeared to be a mint condition cartridge. I assumed wrongly that the higher the number of the cartridge (MMC 5) the better the quality. I WAS DISSAPOINTED TO DISCOVER THAT THE CARTRIDGE WAS JUST AN MMC 1!!!. Research on the net disclosed that not only were `1's unavailable, but were worth a thousand dollars. My friends all have tin ears and wouldn't appreciate the sound generated by an MMC 1, I purchased an MMC 3 to replace the 1 which I am going to place on sale. I might point out that the MMC 3 sells for $500.00, however I was lucky to buy from an unknowing seller who didn't realize the value of the MMC1. I have no intent in gouging a B&O turntable owner who will enjoy this beautiful cartridge. I will accept the first caller who bears in mind that this cartridge is hand made and is no longer available. I don't want to be taken advantage of. I will also guarantee the cartridge for 2 weeks

That is quite a find and congratulations, although I dont know where you got your information from about availability and prices.The MMC 1-5 are still freely available from a company called soundsmith in the US, a new MMC1 is $599 and an MMC3 $229. So perhaps not a rare as you may have been lead to believe.Still you could help someone out who is need of a cartridge with your offer, you just might not get as much as you were wishing for.
