How do I install my cartridge?


I recently bought a Denon DL-110 and a used Denon DP-300F that didn't come with a cartridge. I have no idea where to install the cartridge, and how to do it. The cartridge isn't coming out of the glass "thing" it's attached to....and I don't have a screwdriver. Do I need one?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just new at this, haha.

vewy, vewy carefully.

No screwdriver? To really do it right, you also need an alignment gauge, a cartridge scale, and a Fozgometer. That is almost $450 worth of stuff, although someone with lots of experience may be able to do it with less. The bare minimum would be a DB Systems protractor and a Shure mechanical scale (about $80, together.) In your case, there is no doubt that you should find someone to do it for you who has the tools and knowledge.

The glass thing is there to protect the cantilever from you. It should pull off easily, but you have to pull in the right direction.
