Tonearm with a slotted headshell to replace Linn Ittok LV II

After several decades with the Ittok LV II I would like to switch to a tonearm with a slotted headshell. Since my eyesight not as good as several decades ago cartridge replacement is a real headache. My budget is 1 - 1.5K. Good advice will be very much appreciated. Thanx!

What turntable are you using?..remembering that the LP12 is a very limiting factor as to the weight of a tonearm…

if another platform, then you have a much wider number of options.

It is Sondek LP12.

Imo, there really is a very limited option for you. The tonearm I use, a special edition well tempered black offers the kind of headshell with slots that you are after, but it is anything but easy to set up.

Otherwise, best I can think of would be Johnny’s Audio origami PU7. Which is an excellent tonearm…unfortunately probably not in your price range.
