For sale is a legendary Decca London Gold cartridge, which includes the renowned GB Mount clamp (I believe these were manufactured by the Zeta tonearm firm) for the Decca.

The cartridge was recently serviced (September 2023) by Decca Cartridge Service in the UK, and they checked the vertical magnet alignment plus recalibrated it.

Prior to this, it had a new Fritz Geiger Signature (FGS) diamond stylus fitted by Garrott Brothers in Melbourne in August 2018.

The FGS stylus gives a refined yet incredibly detailed reproduction, far superior to the original stylus sold with the Decca's.

I haven't kept a record on the hours played with it, but conservatively I would estimate it at around 150-200 hours.

A little bit of gold paint on the sides has come off as a result of sliding the GB Mount clamp on and off, but this is purely cosmetic and naturally doesn't affect performance in any way.
