Damn good turntable when set up correctly but just liken an LP12 you have to get it bouncing nicely and not binding on the springs.

Looks like a Signet 'TK3 or 5'.. You will obviously see the Model number when you take off the cartridge from the arm.. '6' is just the Styli not the cart.Audio Technica Cartridge? Hi guys it says 6 on the bottom but cant find anything about it. Does it have another name. I'm interested.
