Hey Everyone - Quick question about swapping head shells - I have a Dr Feickert with an Ortofon/Jelco tonearm that appears to be identical in geometry to the one on my new Technics 1500c (quality not withstanding). I have a number of carts that are mounted on removable head shells that are set up for the Feickert that I want to try on the Technics.

Do I need to reinstall the carts completely and do a whole new setup or can I just install the head shell in the technics?

I'm not super fussy about set up, just want to make sure its ok to do this and no damage will be done - Thanks!!!

If the Jelco is using a standard headshell connection you should be fine.
