The record player temporarily is dead T.T
14 years ago
General
Well, it has decided it wanted to die a little T.T It has needed a new needle for a little bit, which I had found and was going to order, but the cartridge itself has broken its clips to hold the needle in correctly x.x I have looked all over for a new cartridge, but it seems so far that a Sonotone 9T-HCM is almost non-existent x.x I have found a hopeful cartridge on eBay, but it does not list my specific model number, so I have contacted the seller and given him all of the information in hopes that if that one won't work they will know where I can find one. So, the hunt begins........ OH! And if any local furs know of any places in the area that fixes or sells record player parts, let me know ^^ And no....... The Record Exchange won't have my part -_- They suck and only sell newer stuff =P As far as record player parts go, anyways x.x

Is Sonotone 9T-HCM the type of player that it is?

No, that is the model number of the Cartridge. It is a Motorola SKR153MP player

I wonder if a close-match cartridge might work.

OP
That is what I am hoping. I hope the guy I contacted on eBay gets back to me soon and says that it will be compatible (and isn't lying lol)

I would imagine that needle/cartrige systems on record players would have almost de facto standards, at least within the company.

OP
I'm hoping so. The person I contacted is selling the whole cartridge and needle (which are both NOS, but tested) for $25 with free expedited shipping ^^
