Hi,
In a collection of old stylii I bought, there is one with "Jelco 4" printed on it. Anyone heard of this?
Thanks

Does it look like a Red Ed?

Cheers,

I had a Jelco cartridge, but IIRC it was a 14. Decent basic cartridge.
Remember that Jelco and Nagaoka are the same company.

Cheers,
Alec

AFAIK Sumiko is an American importer of equipment made by others.
Ichikawa Jewel Company makes Jelco for sure, and I believe I have seen their name on Nagaoka packaging.
