- Pickering and Stanton are the same company, often styli from one
- will fit the other.
-
- You may just want to go to a local Radio Shack. They carry
- replacements for most of the popular models.
-
- If they don't have one, you can mail order a replacement from
- MCM Electronics. Their number is 800-543-4330.
- Their current catalog lists entries for Pickering series
- AT-1, AT-2, AM-1, NP/AC, V-15, AME, XV-15, TLS, and TLE. It has
- pictures for all of those in the event you don't know the
- exact model number of your cartridge. Price ranges from $6-20
- with $9 the average.
-
- You may also want to check the yellow pages for repair shops in
- the area, many stock the older styli...but I wouldn't pay over
- $20 for any model.
