Fisher MT-M22 turntable q's

[triode_al]

I just bought a [plastic , gash] turntable from Fisher, the Studio Standard line, $10, turntable, with a parallel arm (tracking).

Who has a schema because the plugs are propietary. (the power input is 24 V)
What cartridge would sound best (T4P if I understand the cartridge fit to be, MM, such as from Audio Technica or Grado)?

I could be wrong, but that cartridge looks like a proprietary type to me, too small even to be a P mount type. No Grado whether P or standard mount is going to fit that arm I'd guess. (Too bad, I'm quite a fan of Grado cartridges these days.)

You could be stuck with the cartridge already installed. (Or there might be other "rebadged" tables that use the same/similar cartridge perhaps.)

Were it me I would pass this one along to someone with less ambition and look for another table.

Unfortunately Fisher was pretty much the dregs of HiFi when this table was made.

If this truly is a T4P compatible type here is a vendor that seems to specialize in them: http://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merc...egory_Code=T4P

(I have not done business with them, but reputedly they are ok)

Kevin,
I have indeed searched the net and found only stylus replacements ST37LD and <horribly> these were spherical, so way off from any hifi reproduction.
There is also no little screw on the side of the arm
Should I abort the whole TT then (into the wastebin)?

Hi,

The elliptical version will fit, not much more, $30 vs $27.

Sreten,
thanks for this find of FIS037LDE.
i had visited the site, search code MTM22, and it gave only the conicals (Code: FSMTM22). So you have a better entry point!
I'll set up the machine, test it and add the eliptical when set and done.
regards
albert
