EPS-30ES Elliptical Diamond Stylus for Technics National

Diamond stylus needle, NATIONAL PANASONIC TECHNICS EPS30ES type
ELLIPTICAL tip version

• Replacement for: EPS-30ES (Elliptical), EPS 30 CS, EPS30, EPS33CS
• For phono cartridges: EPC-30, CS, ES, EPC-33CS, ES
• Manufacturing: High-quality item, made in Japan
• Equivalent to: Zafira reference 6217.3 (upgraded with elliptical cut)

Important note:
The plastic casing of current batches for this item may be dark blue (instead of medium blue). This is indeed the superior elliptical version.
To distinguish it from the standard spherical version (which shares the same dark blue casing colour), the manufacturer marks the cantilever shaft with a small black spot.
Please note: Many EPS-30 styli advertised as "ES" (elliptical) are actually spherical EPS-30CS models. This model is guaranteed to be a genuine elliptical tip stylus.
