MicroMara Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The ebay auction on e-bay Germany has ended at 9.03 pm. My old vinyl friend was auctioned by a German buyer , although many europeans had bid. He was sold for $ 1,092. I am quite satisfied with this result. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 So let me say @MicroMara your upgrade to Luxury Class Mercedes sound happened with that pretty little gold colored cart? The Audio-Technica? Check and see if it's one of their better fine line (Shibata) cut needles. Hi @MeloManiac that tt was pricey when I got my first component stereo system. I went with one of their belt drive tts that drove me nuts until I got the Yamaha direct drive. Is that the stock replacement cart on yours that has the good full sound? If so it is probably an A-T also. Those two companies stuck together back around that time. Y'all might be catching on to what I fell into knowledge about in the early eighties. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Cool, I don't have any I put away while they were still good. Plus I sold that last mid range mm cart when I went with the mc I love that is 300 miles north of me locked away right now! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it´s a shibata needle, Model AT20SLA , but to honest it got so much hours on the clock that it needs a new one soon , but where´s the problem ..got enough pick-ups but need to buy some headshells first for the other cartridges . Maybe will drive another one tomorrow ..let´s see .. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
