After much research, and keeping in mind this is for my 20 year old daughter, I have settled on buying a new MM cartridge and stylus and adapting it via a solid state preamp to get enough input voltage for the tube amplifier. The original cartridge specs say it is 1.0 v output, new cartridges put out a few millivolts. Mounting is not a big deal since it is standard 1/2" mount.

I should be able to whip up a fairly simple RIAA equalized pre-amp from one of the designs I've found on the intarwebz that use op amps. I also hope to supply a stereo out jack so that she can connect it to her iPod dock if she wants to.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
