Had to do it.....
Always working on the cheap.
Ordered up a handful of the cartridges which from what I have read are a 1 in 4 chance of actually working!
The gem here is the stylus which is the equivalent of the Ortophon OM 30.($285.00)
Gonna try it on my OM5E just because!!!!!!!!
Any words or comments would be appreciated. 8)

Interesting.

Keep in mind that the OM bodies are all virtually identical. There may be extra refinements with the Super-OM series over regular OM but the main difference between an OM-5E, OM-10, OM-20 and OM-40 is the different iterations of the stylus each uses. In other words, don't pay for an OM-30 if you're planning to sub out for the Digitrac 200 NE stylus. Hunt down an OM-5E instead.

~~~~~~~~

Upon further digging, it appears that the originator of this mod "Quest" says that the Digitracs were made by Ortofon and that the 200 NE (Nude Eliptical) would be the same as an OM-20.

If one already has an OM-5E or OM-10, I would say that this would be neat and inexpensive mod for sure.
