Well, after a little bit of searching I found an original replacement headshell for the ADC 1700DD turntable. With everything priced in USD and the CAD being so poor against it right now, it's a bit more than I wanted to spend on it, but then I figured that if you're going to do a restoration, do it right.

Besides, I'll have an original sample now so I can fire up a CAD and bash together a 3d print of it, and the connector and wires are cheaply available online, so will likely make 2 or 3 more (I have a few cartridges).

We'll see how this goes in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!!
