Diamond Needle – 747 D7 – Replacement Stylus Needle

This is a vintage Diamond Needle 747-D7 stylus, designed as a replacement for Sony ND-143G and used in Sony VL-43G cartridges. It features a diamond conical tip (0.7 mil), suitable for reliable playback of 33 and 45 RPM records.

With a recommended tracking force of 1 to 1.5 grams, it is intended for lighter-tracking tonearms and consistent performance. Manufactured in Switzerland by Pfanstiehl, it represents a classic, well-built replacement stylus from the analog hi-fi era.
