Best cartridge for very old worn vinyl
I think you should look at some of the EMT cartridges with spherical styli. They have both stereo and mono modelshttps://www.emt-tontechnik.ch/cartridges 
Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps
@normansizemore You say you are a van of vintage gear. Is that the same white van where one purchases those great speakers to use with the Sansui? 
Curious about the difference in what I’d hear on different tonearms
I have had a couple of 3 Rega tonearms and there is not much difference. In the confines of your your question you may likely conclude that there is little if any difference in tonearms. That would be an incorrect conclusion, but seemingly correct...

Starting research for turntable
I think the Dr. Feikert Volare is a great choice, but you need to buy a phono preamp also as there is not one in your preamp. It will be a squeeze to get this turntable along with a phono preamp and cartridge in your $4,000 budget. 
Hello everyone! Need advice from the pros in the music :)
I think you may be on the wrong site.When I hear about making things with beets I think of soup. 
Luxman - Shindo - Mcintosh ?
The Luxman would be a good choice for the Altecs, the Shindo not a great match up. I heard this combination at a friends and other amps worked better with the Altecs
