I haven't worked with Seeburgs yet (just Wurlitzer and AMI), but I'm sure there's solutions out there for alternate cartridges that use common stereo styli, just as I do on Wurlitzer and AMI. The same concepts would apply, unless you use a non-magnetic cartridge. Sounds like the Victory offering is non-magnetic.

Kinda hard to get excited about doing this now that the T-needles seem to be impossible to get. What are people doing about that? I saw that Victory is occasionally selling a new-build cart that can take the yellow needles, but you also have to add some sort of box between the tonearm and amp input (or replace the tube amp). Seems a bit Rube Goldbergesk. And who know how long the yellow needles will be around. I see you can’t buy the mono redhead stereo compliant needles either, so seems like there will be an awful lot of Seeburgs available cheep soon - just no easy way to play records on ‘em.
