grado cartrige question
Two days ago, without really knowing what it was worth, I bought a Thorens td126 mkIII electronic from a local thrift store for 6 bucks, it was in excellent almost perfect condition, with tone arm and cartridge all in similar shape.
Suddenly I can see why vinyl is all the rage, my intro-level system is singing on the few select albums I have.
In my research of my new bargain I haven't been able to determine what kind of cartridge I have, It is a Grado, it has gold sides and a brown front (not wood) I was hoping someone could help me figure out what I have, and how best to care for it. Also, any info on how to service, care for my table and tone arm (I think its stock) would be appreciated; I downloaded the manual from analogdepot, but could use other advice.
Thanks in advance
