I recently acquired a Dual CS 1268 cheap and in great shape. I figured out how to drop the cartridge carrier and cartridge out of the headshell, something I never figured out on the CS 530 I had before. The cartridge is an Ortofon VMS 30 MK II, which was top of the line at one time, from what I have been able to find out on the www. As you might guess, the stylus cantilever is badly bent. Does anyone know if this unit is worth a new stylus, or should I go to something more modern? I have a Shure M105E and an M97E with an N97HE stylus. Would either of those be better?? I also have an Audio Technica AT12Sa which has [I think] a Shibata stylus. The rest of my collection is junk or broken...
