https://reverb.com/news/shure-to-discontinue-industry-standard-phono-products-this-summer Sad news. I use the Shure M44-7 cartridge for my turntable, and love it. It's truly one of the best cartridges on the market, has been for many years. I went ahead and ordered a replacement stylus for it, but it seems that most websites are removing their Shure stock quickly since this announcement.

Hey all, I have upgraded one of the turntables in my house and this one has become extraneous. Time to find a good home for it. It's a Technics SL-B5 fully automatic belt drive turntable. It includes a Shure M195 cartridge with stylus. The stylus has definitely been used but it works and sounds great. The 45 adapter is also included. I have recently installed a new belt. I have also cleaned and refurbed the dust cover, which is in excellent condition, stays up when lifted and has no cracks. This is a stacking turntable, meaning it's a changer. You can load a number of records and have it play them automatically. I have never used this feature, but I am including the stacking spindle as part of the turntable. Here are a few pics: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ij80o5v2v7id6o/2014-01-30%2021.32.40.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/t652kpcbr82499p/2014-01-30%2021.36.10.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/0dof2uk41fpob6v/2014-01-30%2021.35.53.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/nxed2rdl8890por/2014-01-30%2021.36.49.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/qa4w6a12g63bk67/2014-01-30%2021.36.26.jpg This turntable has been adult-owned and cared for and comes from a smoke-free environment. All features, including the strobe, speed control, and auto start / stop work perfectly. The only reason I am selling this is due to an upgrade. $100 plus buyer pays actual shipping costs. I can ship via USPS or UPS. I'd imagine UPS would be cheaper / safer but am flexible. PM me if you are interested. I will not hold the turntable. Thanks!

so i recently bought a technics B1 off of ebay for 75 shipped. got here and low and behold its got this cartridge on it...from what ive looked up it seems like its pretty nice. anyone care to weigh in/know a better table for it?
