    Default Benz micro glider l2

    Used as a rather extravagant second back up cartridge. It sits in my draw!
    It has only been installed in my system for about a month, and hardly used at all,
    maybe a few sides every other day..

    I was using it whilst waiting for my DV XX2 MK2 to come back from Expert stylus for a retip

    I purchased this a year or so ago from a friend who also used it as a back up
    for his Decca London Cart on a Garrad 301.

    I have little history info on it but to say it's in fine condition and plays wonderfully.
    TBH very difficult to hear much difference between my Dynavector retipped and this cart .

    I won't pretend to know hours played on it or hours left on it..
    All I can tell you is the above. Please don't bother if you want a Brand New cart..it isn't.

    I have it on my LP12 with Naim Aro and a Hashimoto SUT and get fine results.
    I'm very fussy with my Vinyl front end and it's been very carefully used.

    £290 delivered, which seems pretty fair, and is a bit less than I gave for it with no delivery.

    All orginal packaging is included, nice box and graph run out etc.

    Attached are a few pictures, I even attempted to take one using a magnifying glass,
    not that great but you can see the stylus, which I thought was better than no photo.

    I managed to do one, but my image hosting site is playing up. Your listing is now compliant anyway.
