Who Ever Got A One Cent Cartridge

Posted by Doug G. on September 25, 2017 at 15:17:32:
After seeing the thread below about a cartridge for an AR turntable and the page from the 1966 Allied Dream Book... er...catalog, I wonder how many of us were ever a beneficiary of a one cent cartridge offer for buying a turntable.
Mine was an Empire 2000 E/III when I bought a BIC 980 from Heathkit in March of 1976. I believe a Shure V15 Type III would have been 35 bucks extra.
I still have the Empire (among many others) and I think I have replaced the stylus about four times.
