Using this ceramic cartridge is easy. First, just clip it into the headshell of your phonograph. It's designed to fit well and work smoothly. Remember, this cartridge is only for old - style mono phonograph models and not for magnetic - style ones. When handling the stylus, be gentle as it's quite delicate. After each use, put the stylus cover back on to protect it from damage. Every few months, you can clean the cartridge with a soft, dry cloth to keep it in good condition. With our 25 - year experience in supplying parts, you can trust this product for reliable performance.
