Gene,
I'm a satisfied YP-D8 owner. About a month ago I finally pulled the trigger on the "Zupreme" headshell from lpgear. It's an excellent unit, with upper and lower pins for solid connection to arm and the best azimuth hardware I've seen on a budget headshell. At $55 shipped, it feels like a bargain to me. I'm even debating getting another one for my mono cart, which is now mounted on one of 2 original Yamaha headshells.
Here's a link to the model --
