I have had this sat around for a while, so it's time to pass it on, and let someone else enjoy it.
My 2M Black is boxed, with all accessories. You need to be careful about the screw length, as you can damage the cartridge if they are too long.
This has always been used with the screws that mount it to the cartridge holder.

Also included are the unused accessories - mechanical stylus force gauge, carbon(?) stylus brush and screwdriver.
It has probably had about 300 hours on it, but has been used on clean records. I found I preferred the Audio Technica house sound, so stopped using it.
You will notice it has a clear stylus guard rather than the black one. I replaced it after the black one failed, with a 2M mono SE guard as the black ones are very brittle, and the catch breaks off very easily.

From the photos, you can see it is in good, clean condition. There is loads of life left in the stylus, so I am looking for £300 + p&p

A couple of better pictures of the stylus:

It's really difficult trying to take a decent photo of the stylus, as the lighting can make the diamond look a bit weird.

Hi Kev, are you using a USB microscope for those magnificent pics? If so would you mind letting me know where you got it from and the model?

Many thanks

To save you looking.


It's a "50-500X 2MP USB 8 LED Light Digital Microscope Endoscope Video Camera Magnifier" from eBay. Cost less than a tenner. Looks very much like this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50-500X-2M...gAAOSw9mFWKf3D
