Vintage Decca London Gold Cartridge New Old Stock

This Vintage Decca London Gold Cartridge is new old stock, and comes with its original red plastic protective cover and outer black box.

Please note: There are no additional accessories with this cartridge i.e. mounting screws or connection block.

Dating to the 1970s, the cartridge is in very good unused condition, with some scuffs/loss of gold coating from contact with the cover. The outer black box is slightly scuffed from years of storage. 

As with all the Decca London series, this cartridge has three connecting pins.

It is marked with:-

  • The Serial Number SG2-1026 
  • Brit Pat 856829/856997 (these are Decca GB patents dating to 1957 and 1958 respectively)

In the 1960s, Decca commenced production of a series of stereo cartridges and heads that could also be used with another manufacturer's pick up arm/tone arm. The series commenced with the Mark IV cartridge, and was followed by the London Blue, with a reduced cartridge mass and spherical stylus, in 1974. Further improvements were made with the introduction of the London Maroon with spherical stylus and the London Gold with an elliptical stylus.
