Question: How do I know which cartridges fit to a specific B&O turntable?
Background: I have a functioning Beomaster 5000 (+ Beocord 5000 and Beogram CD 7000), but the Beogram 5000 turntable that was part of the purchase does not work. I need a replacement.
Many of the Beogram turntables I find on the market do not have a cartridge, and I see no reason to pay for one, if I can use the ones I already have. I have one MMC4 on the Beogram 5000, but I am not sure if it works. I also have a MMC20EN on a Beocenter 7002 that I don't use - but I know it works fine.
Right now I am looking into buying either a Beogram 5000 or a Beogram RX2 - and I'm wondering if the MMC20EN would fit any of these.
(Bonus question: The little metal tip on the left side of the Beogram 5000 lid - can it be replaced if I have another one?)
