Culture vs. Culture

Jeffrey noted earlier how paperclips can take different cultural forms.  A number of years ago I realized cartridges can do the same thing. Different people want different things and different packaging.


 

These are various packages for the Panasonic / Technics EPC-450 (Strain Gauge) cartridge.  It seemed that the ones sourced from Japan were under the Technics brand and were delivered mounted to a headshell.  The US units Came in either an OEM box or Brushed aluminum cases.

    I may have a small lust problem with ancient technics carts in general. That 450 is strain gauge, though. That's a big lust problem. GIANT lust problem.
