Over Christmas I dug out an old Beocenter 7007 I had used in the late '80s.

Looks great, so I thought I'd set it up to play some vinyl.

However, discovered the cartridge is missing - no doubt somewhere safe, but no idea where rolleyes

Think it uses an MMC 4 or similar, any idea where I can get a newish one? And, perhaps, a new drive belt?

thanks

Google 'sound smith' they're a company in the US who sell reconditioned ones and also make new ones that are compatible. Expensive but superb quality.

Failing that some of the eBay ones that are broken due to drives or power supply issues may (rare) have an ok cartridge.

The information in your link suggests replacing with Soundsmith SMMC 4!

OK, thanks, will check it out.

Think they will be expensive (for the quality of the deck) + duty/vat/shipping.

Good s/h one in the UK would be nice.
