Where can I get an Ortofon MC10 cartridge for a Sony PS-X5 turntable?

January 26th, 2012

They changed the former large tubes to miniature tubes and did away with the pilot light on the top in these models to cut costs. Of course, the models got a new [...]

Where can I find a dust cover and a hinge for my Technics SL-BD22 turntable?

January 12th, 2012

The left side hinge has broken on the table, as you face it, and on the same side the teeth on the back of the cover have also broke. Any suggestions as to where to get these items would be appreciated!
