Both of them are,were, very good cartridges. Albertporter has it right though, depends on stylus and cantilever if the are really worth anything. I have a boxful that have problems with both, and really worth nothing but I can't stand to toss them
Thanks guys. They both worked perfectly when i stashed them . The Ruby has very low hours. The other I bought used. Visually ,they still look fine. Any cost estimates?
There was A DV Karat Ruby and a Karat Diamond. Look at the cantilever with a magnefying glass. If it's red it's a ruby but if it's clear it would be the much more valuable Karat Diamond. These date back to the late seventies or early eighties. Don
It's a ruby. Says so right on the box. I bought it around 1983. Whats it worth guys!(assuming it functions ok, etc.)??? I want to sell and give someone a good , fair deal.
There is a Dynavector for sale here at Audiogon for $275.00. I don't know how that model stacks up against yours, but it is a starting point.

As old as yours is you may have to play it to be certain you have a good working piece. Only other option is sell to a person who you can trust and give them a week (or other time period) to try the cartridge out to be sure performance is good. Selling used cartridges is difficult at best, I am struggling for ideas that would be fair to all concerned.
