I know the cartridge is obsolete (if by that you mean, old). I bought it in 1974. It is on the downstairs turntable I now use only for 78s. If I'd gotten a 500 series or a 6800 series, I could still get styli easy. After I'd had the retip done I did find a source for new ones in Japan but the retip turned out to be less expensive.
