    Been a few went cheap on bay recently... One was damaged and one other i checked claimed it was great but he recieved no return feedback so may not have been lol. None sold very recently though...must have got it on a forum . If you got it under 200 and its nice nick then its a bargain Mike... It should sound very nice indeed....it likes accurate azimuth ...found sweet vtf of 1.95gm

    If it has a guard be careful as there is not a lot of clearance between it and tip.

    I see that... Might sound ok ...dunno if it will do any extra wearing to a record or not... Worth a try if it was cheapish.

    An I being too suspicious in that it's a different cartridge because looking at the angle of his photo the screws at the side look aligned, but if you but the cartridge straight on like his photo the bend is far more pronounced.

    That wouldn't be going near my records. It has a deep and narrow line contact with the record groove. Misalignment will likely cause damage. Shame, it's a great sounding MC.
