    There's a time where folk have to get off that Hi Fidelity horse & just admire the sound of these old boyz.

    If the Sonotone cartridge is intact, a new diamond stylus should be fine for it. The 8T model (a fugly red thing I think, which may be later than this player...) was highly thought of for its type, but like the 9T series, it was a flip-under and may have gone into the BSR UA15 the later transistorised? Pye stereogram used (I had relatives with one), long and slim in profile as this one seems to be.

    OK.. The Garrard will work with a modern ceramic and I personally suggest you don't get a jap copy of either the Sonotone 9TA or Garrard KS40A. Both are too low in compliance, track at far too high a weight compared to the originals IMO and don't sound as good either, especially for the prices asked. The BSR SC12M (or H if you need more output) is surprisingly good, very well mannered and fitted with the single stylus it tracks well too. You ought to buy a vintage Garrard stylus pressure gauge too - one which can accurately set 4 - 6g downforce.
