For the TP 11 II / III, TP 16 II / III and TP 21 were also available :
TMC 63 (armwand with integrated EMT mc-cartridge, best used with the dedicated PPA 990 prepre)
TPO 63 (armwand with integrated Ortofon ultra low mass mm-cartridge, eff. mass just 4.5 grams).
The TMC 63 could be used with the TP 22 theoretically, but arm and turntable (TD 104/105) cannot match the quality of the cartridge.
The TPO 63 cannot be used with the TD 104 / 105 because the counterweight of the TP 22 is too heavy (the lightweight counterweight that comes with the TPO 63 does not fit on the TP 22).
For the TP 30 (TD 110 / 115) were also available :
TMC 70
TPO 70
(see descriptions above).
