The cartridge in mine went bad; too much West Texas heat I guess. But it
still looks good :-)

I know a lot of people do this.  But once done, it's no longer a D-104 --
it's just one more HC-5 in a fancy housing.  This is one case where it may
look like a duck, but doesn't necessarily sound like a duck.  I recognize
some may consider that a plus :-)

I understand it, but it is a shame that Astatic can no longer economically
manufacture the original cartridge for something this venerable, if not
downright iconic ...
