“I have a Sony PS T1 turntable with an Audio Technica LAB XII-S Cartridge and Stylus. This unit is 50 years old. Can I get a replacement stylus for the cartridge or because of the age should I replace the whole unit. If so what would you suggest?”

The LAB XIIS cartridge featured a (ATN12S) Shibata type stylus bonded to a tapered aluminum cantilever, both the cartridge and stylus have been discontinued for quite some time, we have no original replacement styli remaining here and no current replacement styli that is compatible with the LAB XII-S cartridge body. It appears that at least one of our dealers, LP Gear, has some NOS ATN12S styli remaining in their inventory. The current equivalent cartridge complete with stylus is the AT-VM750XSH, the VM540ML cartridge is similar.
