Hey Mischa.  If he has more of them, I will buy another.  Not sure how I can physically check to make sure its original outside of the Technics packaging.  I do know how an original sounds thou.Cheers  
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
@chakster It is in transit - will be here next week. If the stylus replacement is dead, I will get my money back from paypal as it is being sold as new. You face this issue with EVERY old cartridge or stylus one buys - it may fail. My original EPC...
