Inexpensive MM Cartridge

Hi All.  I'm helping a friend who has a late 1970's Pioneer PL12 turntable. The manual TT is in good working order, bearing and motor lubed, etc. We need a MM cartridge to mount on the stock S-shaped tonearm.  Budget is up to around $300.  Suggestions please!  Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

Get the Shure m97xe and upgrade to the vivid stylus. A fantastic combo.

Get the Shure M97 Era IV with the $45 Swiss nude elliptical N97ED. Blows the M97xE with the $114 VL out of the water. I have both combos.
