2. The cartridges for 4004 and 2400 are inter changeable, its the MMC 20 series The 5500 has a MMC 1-5,

The 7 pin din plugs has 2 pins screwed into the plug, take a close look and you will see that you can screw them out with a small screw driver, then you can connect them to the preamp using

Where are you situated, over here or over there

I am in the USA---is that li the only place to get THAT plug?

You will need the 5 pin DIN female to 2 x RCA male, they are scare in the US but multi in the UK, but wait a little maybe another member has an answer. Or surf for it

Are you proficient with soldering? If so I may have a plug for you. I will have to dig around and get back to you.

EDIT: Oh wait, that's a female conn. Definitely don't have one of those.
