Hello everyone,

I have a Beogram 3000 Type 5228 with a broken stylus. It no longer plays in stereo, and the parts of records that are "quiet" do not play correctly. Other than these two things the entire turntable works perfectly, my father obviously took very good care of it. I have done research on this model it apparently it uses an SP12A stylus, and unfortunately no one seems to sell new compatiable stylus for this player. Some people offer reconstruction, but this is being offered at rather high prices and is not guaranteed to fix the problem.

My main question then is if anyone here knows what might be causing these two problems and if anyone possibly has a SP12A type that I could purchase?

Thank you guys for any and all help.

Kevin

Thank you very much Matheyl

But, unfortunately I can only check the internet on the weekends. And that auction expired last tuesday. I'm not very good with french but I could not find if the item sold or not. I am going to attempt to contact the seller and hope he/she understands some amount of english.

If not does anyone else possibly have a SP 12 phono cartidge that I could purchase?
