AMI jukeboxes used different cartridges made by General Electric.

NB the actual cartridges are no longer available, but the styli are!

The earlier models G used a full metal-plated cartridge, with a groove from the middle to the front, see fig 1
The needle for this cartridge is number 119DS.

The late models G, and also the models H, used the same cartridge, but with a groove the full length of the body of the pick-up, see fig 2
The needle for this cartridge is number 121-DS. This needle requires a holder but the holder is not available.

The models I and J together with earlier K used to have a small cartridge with a metal cover at the front ONLY, see fig 3
This cartridge has two connections and on it’s base is written
"VR II". The needle with holder is 6035-FA. The needle without holder is 123-DS

The models K (stereo) and Continental have the same cartridges but marked "VR-22" with four connections (stereo).
The needle with holder for the VR-22 is number 125-STFA, the needle and holder being integrated.
The needles are not removeable from the holder.

Just to add to the general confusion the Continental 1 uses the VR-II as well as the VR-22 and a lot of English AMI use none of the ones mentioned but a Tannoy MkII pick-up (it looks like a small whitish egg) mono. p.u. unavailable. Others used in Ami include the M3D ,the M44 and later on the M77 from shure.
