I don't know what kind of cartridge is in this thing, but it can't be too good, so 2's a good place ot start. Any markings on the cartridge body itself? dB |

You have a Pickering cartridge (basically a gussied up Stanton) which is better than most "all in ones" could ever hope to have. Not knowing the model of that Pickering and just recollecting experience with them over the years, I'd go for 2 grams both in VTF and anti-skate. Look at the front of the cartridge...you should see a model number on the stylus assembly. I'm pretty sure you can get a new stylus for this pretty easily. Any junk that comes from a Salivating Army store has to have a suspect stylus, trust me on this. I'm curious as to what make the turntable really is. Is it a changer or a straight turntable? dB |

If this tonearm has a cylindrycal counterweight at the rear, it also many have a plastic round plastic piece on the front or rear that is lightly "clutched" to the counterweight. In other words, you can turn it independently of the counterweight itself. Let me know if this is the case, or if you can post a picture of the tonearm somewhere. dB |
