Update: Photos are here: Tip is looking great! Unfortunately stylus has a wonk on like it was once snagged and then straightened.. is the first time I've looked at it closely off the headshell. As I say below, it sounds good to me and I'd not detected any sonic problems. But please make an offer via PM if you think it warrant's it. And of course I'm ok for it to be returned if not happy!

-- Denon DL103S --

Low output, Moving Coil stereo cartridge.

An improvement on the basic design of the famous DL-103. A cantilever, suspension, damping system of superior materials and a finely finished diamond stylus all work together to lower the weight of the entire assembly so that higher compliance Is possible. At low tracking forces, tracing is clearer and sharper, with response all the way up to 60 kHz for true highfidelity playback.

Mine is with stylus guard, all original, sounds great and hasn't been used much these last 10 years as the original owner has been spending most of their time abroad. Hours unknown but as I say still performs very well indeed!

Was asking £120 posted (in UK) or £128 posted worldwide but feel free to make an appropriate offer due to the stylus not being fully straight

Only caveat is I don't have a PayPal account.

Hi,

Yes, welcome to have err... first dibs after REXTON's first dibs!

Just a couple of things to do first and I'll get the old camera out..
