Original US model Shure SC35C

[DSJR]

Yeah Marco, not the cartridge, merely the Dual arm, which is a bit - er - "lively" in the upper midband. mass wise, the Duals of this period are around 15g according to 'Choice, and the counterweight was "tuned" specifically for the Shure V15 III and others like it I seem to remember. [edit] - the M3D/N21 wasn't really happy in the 701 without loads of mass added (counterweight was right out almost as far as it would go without falling out) and my guess was that tha SC35C may be similar, preferring a heavier and more solid/rigid arm to work at its best, that's all..

Shane, who posts here, had a damaged 701, from which he poached the motor and sent me the remains, which have come in SO handy . As the motor has the electronics mounted underneath and the transformer is easily relocated well away from the rest of it, I think there's a superdeck coming along. I'd possibly leave the mat stuck to the platter as the whole is totally dead and plonk a cork or similar mat on top of it.

Well thanks to Darren who gave me his SC35C and cart after reading this thread I want to get my hands on an original American SC35C cart, any idea as to where I can get one from?

Cheers Lee

Hi lee,

I have sent you a pm,but i'll repeat what i said in that here,incase anyone else is interested in this cart.

Basically put a wanted ad in as many forums as possible and keep you eye out on ebay ect.

Have you thought about a goldring G800 lee? These are more readily available and offer very good sppv,apparently.I have one,but haven't got round to replacing my dodgy stylus yet,not sure why anyway marco rates them highly in the right system,when setup optimally.He did a comparison between the two,which he wrote about in this thread.The G800 may have a more favourable presentation to you,depending on what you like/want.

Maybe worth considering while you look for a SC35C.

If anyone would like a NOS styli for the SC35C,then this guy has some! If you have a 'vintage' SC35C,but not an original styli,this will be money well spent

Hi,



The latest body needs 250pf


The old one 450pf


Or is it the stylus that needs more capacitance ?


It does sound much better already on a new body (less than than 1 side played)


If they have white lettering then they are US Made ?


Mine came the specification paper : SS35C and SS78E

0.6 mil spherical


The cartridge body if they are printed (made in USA) are the vintage ?


I got the stylus for $20

Thanks

Many thanks, Jean, for adding the info requested to your profile!

Thank You

I just got a US made body

The top end is very clean and the bass is to die for

I don't have enough capacitance just about 250pf

Shure say at least 400pf


But it sound great even with the NOS stylus not even broken-in (vtf at 4.45 grams)


I am lucking because someone in the past had soldered on one of + pins, but I was able to removed it with a sharp razor blade .

I was happy to hear that channel still working

Thanks

I am busy working lately

I have the USA Made SC35C mounted on Technics Headshell with the 3 grams weight

I have it at 4 grams now


Is 3.5 grams enough when playing 12 inch single especially 33.3 rpm that are cut with full stereo bass

45 rpm are easier to play

I ask because the minimum was 4 grams

No one mention the USA stylus is a 0.6 mil and the current one is 0.7 mil

Thank You

Recommended Capacitance should also include your Pick-Up arm cabling capacitance..

I'd never sleep again if my needle were tracking at 4+ grm
