    Hey folks!

    I'm looking to mount this onto a spare headshell but can't seem to find out a model for this to find out what the tracking force should be.

    Any help? :)

    Looks like it is just an Audio Technica AT-3600 from back in the day they were still made in Japan. Typicaly specified 1.5 - 3.0 g VTF, but varies with stylus, some are even higher.

    Onkyo OC-61. As said by Davey, it's basically a rebadged At3600.

    Lots of third-party upgrade stylii available for this cartridge.

    I can confirm ^this is indeed a superb upgrade for the stock conical stylus that comes with the Onkyo OC-61, Audio Technica AT3600/AT3601/AT91/CN5625AL, Rega Carbon, Music Hall Melody, et al.

    Sounds great. :cool:

    I believe I upgraded my first TT with this stylus. The TT was a Sony. This was a very good upgrade. I think it replaced an AT3600 stylus. Made a lot of difference.
