Picked up a Technics SL-23 in very good condition cheaply, but it didn't come with a headshell. Didn't think this was a problem. Was then gifted a Linn K9 cart in good condition, but that came with no fixing bolts. Didn't think that was a problem.

I'm now thinking, is this a problem?

What do I need to finish my setup? As I have never even touched the finer points of a turntable before, what type of headshell do I need? What length bolts? Will I need a stylus force gauge or even a Technics overhang gauge too? Spirit level?

Will most likely be buying these things from Amazon, the 'bay or where ever is recommended.



Your help would be most appreciated.
