$300-$500 Cartridge for Thorens TD-1601 Turntable
Another cartridge that I absolutely love is the Goldring E3.  You might find it's all you want and/or need.  A savvy shopper can find one for around $115.00.  Sleeper cart of the decade, IMHO. Try one...

Help! Monolith turntable platter removal
Take off the mat. There are holes/slots on each side of the platter. Put a couple of fingers in each hole, then push down on the spindle with your thumbs while pulling up on the platter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cwJIZG1Gps&t=63s
