The changer in my maganavox was beat up like the platter plastic was gone on it so I bought one on epay. I need help IDing the cart though. Aren't they usually ev-26?

That's not an EV-26 but if you drill out the rivets holding the cartridge mount to the part that screws onto the tone arm you can use about any 1/2 inch mount cartridge out there.

If the cartridge is bad, gary at VM has a replacement using the original bracket mount.

My loves I worded it wrong I want to know the cart so I can figure out what needle to use for it that way when it comes I can get right to work instead of waiting for the new needle to come when I order it.

if you buy the cartridge from gary it comes with your choice of needle, or you can just buy a needle/stylus for about 7 bucks. either way its easy to look it up yourself on the VM website.

Incorrect.
The Magnavox in the ebay ad uses a specific EV cartridge.
Here is the correct stylus and info...

You are right Matt. I only looked at the first picture, and not yet having been fitted with glasses after my cataract operations, I mistook the little arm sticking out for an EV 26.
