or is it suck it and see.

Well I sucked it and then found this on an old Ebay listing.


Weight of Pickup Cartridge..............................7 Grams
Output impedence........................................... 2 Ohms
Recommended load impedence per channel..... 1.5 Ohms
Equivalent mass (at stylus point)....................... 0.9 Mgs.
Recommended stylus pressure......................... 3/4 - 1 1/2 Grams
Output in MV/CM/Sec (loaded)..................... 0.04 MV.
Stylus Tip Radius - Eliptical............................. .0007" x .0003"
Frequency Response...................................... 10-40,000 HZ
Vertical Tracking Angle.................................. 15 Degrees
Channel Seperation at 1000 HZ..................... 20-30 db.

I settled on 1.3 gram and the Cinemag SUT works well on +36, cartridge output 0.04mv

I think I have one, very low output makes a heck of a raket, not exceptional sound. prefer the transformer one.

Paul you must have a bad stylus, this is very smooth and tracks like a train.
The posty delivered the arm I sent you with a note to say it was not called for at the sorting office.
