NOS Original ADC RK8 Stylus with Stylus Guard for K4, K6, K7, K8 Cartridges

Location:

Monroe, GA

Description:

This offer is for One (1) NOS Original ADC RK8, the stylus for the ADC K8CFromPhonoJacks! This offer is for one (1) NOS, New Old Stock, Pfanstiehl 111-D7C Stylus, an original ADC RK8 Stylus, made by Audio Dynamics Corp., here in the US. I have such a cartridge on sale here at eBay, click HERE . This cartridge is an ideal choice for anyone doing a rebuild/refurbish on a 70s or 80s turntable. The ADC K8C cartridge was designed in the 70s, it features clean sound with just a little punch, ideal for 70s Rock and 80s acoustic and electronic instruments. Some of you know that I had this horrendous move in February where we have too many boxes (at the destination) piled so high and deep that we can't even find everything that makes our business grow. Then we add 2 hours a day in additional commute time, as the jobs where we moved did not work out, so that's 10 hours less time a week that we could have been unpacking. Recently, I uncovered several of the ADC RK8 Styluses, that were originally Pfanstiehl 111-D7s where the original packaging was destroyed. My pre-move store inventory says I have 10 of these styluses, but so far I have only uncovered 4. I know for certain that there are at least 4 more, as I remember seeing them. 4 individuals packed items from the office, so they could be in almost any box marked "office". It took months just to find these, so I don't have a clue when additional styluses will be available. I will list them when I find them. These are first come first served, if you want one, buy it now while it is available. Save up to 10% by buying multiples. This Stylus is an EXACT match for each cartridge listed above. This stylus also Fits the following ADC Cartridges: Digital III Digital IV Digital XT-II Digital XT-III Digital XT-IV K5E (slight downgrade) K6E (slight downgrade) K7E (slight downgrade) K8E (slight downgrade) QLM36 II P30 P32 Q30 Q36 QLM30 II QLM30 III QLM32 III QLM33 III QLM34 III QLM36 III Super XLM II XLM XLM II XLM III ZLM These items were brand new, in Pfanstiehl 111-D7C boxes (Note: These were not 4111-D7C, those are all generics, these ARE Original ADC Styluses made by ADC in the USA. The Pfanstiehl boxes reflected Pfanstiehl in Waukegan IL, so it was from the old Pfanstiehl, not the Pfanstiehl in Rockford, IL.) At some point the cases were damaged and I personally reboxed them and marked them as Original ADCs. But you can see from the photos that they are ADCs and that they were made in the USA.The ADC K8C Cartridge speaks for itself. This was the cartridge of choice for many first-time turntable owners in the early Technics days, but it was also sported by many early, mid and late 70s turntables by most major brands. Its sound was designed for American and British rock in that time, but this cartridge also sound awesome with mid-60s rock, and holds its own with the more electronic sounds of the 80s. The stylus comes with a stylus guard that also came with the ADC RK8C cartridge. Notes (...if you already know one of the notes, feel free to skip to the next section...):NOS means “New, Old Stock”. ADC unfortunately went out of business in 1985 (according to some sources) or possibly the early 90s. So, any ADC cartridges and styluses are either used, or NOS. Original ADC K8-DP styluses that are used have sold for $50.00 and higher, depending on the stylus that is included. The original ADC styluses for the K8 have sold for ~$40 and generic Pfanstiehl styluses sell ~$25.00. This stylus is an original ADC, it is worth more than the asking price! If quantities are available, then you save about $1 for every additional stylus you buy. You will also save $3.38 shipping, since you will not have to reorder and pay the full shipping price for each additional stylus purchased. This item was made in USA and warehoused in the U S A.
