This needle is part of a genuine Pioneer MOVING COIL cartridge. MC cartridges are rare and SUPERior in performance to standard MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges. If this needle is above your budget for getting your pioneer turntable back up and running, please look in our cartridges catagory under 1/2" mount cartridges. Most any 1/2" mount MM Cartridge will substitute and get you back up and running at a much lower cost. Keep in mind that the overall sound quality will be somewhat lower than what you might be used to from the Pioneer MC cartridge
