That replacement from Gary Stork is a ceramic adaptation. The Cobras are still available from jukebox suppliers since Wurlitzer used them in their mono 45 machines till the last mono model (which used a Sonotone ceramic). They are not cheap, around $75. The German made Cobra replacements are said to be the best of the lot. But the Cobras were not great on post 1955 mono discs on sonics or tracking, and got replaced with different options on later models. Gary's ceramic Cobra alternative is most likely superior and a lot less costly.
