The Pickering NP/AC - Stanton 400V3 cartridge

The NP/AC - 400V3 is no longer available.

It has been replaced with an updated version, see the 500V3 in the next listing down.

NP/AC Commercial Duty Replacement Needles

Diamond tip for 45/33 play $15

 

Diamond tip for 78 play $19

 

The 500V3 is Stanton's latest release in high quality magnetic cartridges. It replaces the old outdated NP/AC - 400V3 models.

It has the highest output in it's class and has the strongest construction, giving it the strength to stand up to the tough demands of jukebox use.

Ideal for replacing the Shure N75C used in most German build models (including the OMT) and nice improvement over the Sanyo cartridge used in the newest models.

This is a 4 pin stereo cartridge, wire in parallel for use on mono equipped models. 

500V3 comes with needle and hardware as shown $55
