Thanks MrFixr55. There's no rush, we all have lives... Thanks a lot for helping out. 

I no longer have the d10a - its motor was seized and didn't have styluses, I gave it to another phorum member years ago. I didn't feel like investing that amount of time and money to bring back a 78rpm changer when all I have is 33 and 45 - I'm not sure if it ended working again.

My current stylus I have is from the v-m website. For a commercial site, they were very generous of their time and were useful identifying and helping me bringing the turntable back to working order.

How do we select replacements when we change cartridges?
From what you said, I feel like the best course of action would be to go to a magnetic cartridge?
Can we connect a stereo head to a mono tonearn?

If changing the cartridge has the option of solving the problem, I'm thinking about going forward with it-but I'd like to be sure of ordering the good parts. 

Thanks!
