For sale: Ortofon SL-15e MC pickup cartridge. This model has an elliptical naked diamond stylus. I bought it new and used it for about six months on a SME 2009 arm on a Thorens TD124 deck. I don’t know how many hours, but the stylus looks fine (see photo, needs cleaning but I won't rub and scrub) and it sounds great and no, I do not have a line transformer for it, I use a MC phono pre-amp. (I have seen Ortofon in-line T5 transformers offered on this forum and elsewhere, if you need one but I would strongly recommend an active MC input stage or preamp.)

PRICE: £175.00 including postage within the U.K. I will supply it stand alone or, for an extra £25.00, mounted in an Ortofon SME/Shure badged SPU type headshell with stylus guard. (See photo.) Payment by bank transfer.
P.S. There is one going on the evil-bay here: https://goo.gl/ApWZrv for £595 but I’m not that greedy.
