Stanton Collector's Series WOS 100 MM Phono Cartridge & CS-100 Stylus MicroRidge

Extremely rare Stanton Collector’s Series WOS 100 MM Phono Cartridge with full signature and original CS-100 stylus with clear markings retipped with a new 0.10 mm sq Orbray r/R 2/80 micron Micro Ridge diamond by Joseph Long aka Groovetickler:

"Stanton CS-100 moving magnet cartridge had a broken cantilever at the angle. The effort here was to retain the distinctive orange anodized cantilever. I formed a new mounting area, drilled a hole and installed a new 0.10 mm sq Orbray r/R 2/80 micron Micro Ridge diamond preserving the original look and performance and perhaps enhancing performance a bit with a finer tracing edge radius than stock. Sounds amazing! Notice the unusually high output that is characteristic of this cartridge that sets it apart from other Stanton and Pickering cartridges"

It comes mounted on a Jelco HS-20 headshell with gold Dustamatic brush, stylus guard and Storage Case. 

Serial Number: 1924
Channel separation: 33db (above specs)

Recommended Tracking Force: 1.25 gram without the brush, 2.25 gram with the brush.

Probably the best Moving Magnet cartridge ever made. Extremely rare and highly sought after.
