New cartridge for MMF 5
A good easy to find, low risk, choice would be a NOS Acutex 312 or 412 on Italian Ebay.Only about $60 but much better than that pricepoint .They are not as "refined" as the few you mentioned, but IMHO are very close. I personally like the 312 bett... 
New cartridge for MMF 5

guitar solos where less is more
It appears Buddy Flett is solo at this time. I will have to learn how to import videos, but a lot on Youtube.I have to agree that Beach Boy's solo is hard to beat. Many great players I have never heard. Thanks. 
guitar solos where less is more
