[mmorse]

i need to replace the wires that connect my cartridge to an sme309 headshell. problem is there is no indication which wires go where on the head shell and there is nothing in the tonearm manual. anybody know which wire connects to which connector on the headshell?

According to the image in this shop listing https://www.analogueseduction.net/sme-upgrades-parts-accessories/sme-309-headshell.html the wires share the same layout as with any other headshell

This illustration is drawn as looking inside the headshell to the pins. SME uses a different combination than others.

Another method is checking continuity between pins and RCA plugs with meter in diode mode.
