Provenance details might be interesting.

Pioneer cartridge?
Pioneer had quite a few, some OEM, Nagaoka for example.

Yes, if the description is correct then it's been sitting in a box for a long time.

That seller has been around for ever. Started Balfours which used to be under the car parking building by the square in Christchurch, I think Davis and Hughey before that ? (this was back in the day when there were loads of Hifi stores in CHCH). Anybody ever listened to one of these ? I had a PL200/300/400 cant remember which back in the day that I quite liked. Very good isolation IIRC.

eric is a lovely gentleman who i have had the pleasure of meeting a few times. i bought a sony v-fet int amp from him. he prices at the high end but is not silly as he has a good turnover. he came to my house to listen to the Duevel speakers i had at the time simply because he was interested in hearing them.

Does that place still exist. I seem to remember passing a closed or shut down hifi store just off the square late last year. Appeared to be several forlorn looking pieces that could be seen inside.
