I have a 40 year old Technics(by Panasonic), SL 1200 Direct Drive turntable that has been in retirement for a few years. I am seeking a mid-range replacement cartridge, so I can bring my albums out of retirement, that I do not have on CD's

This cartridge is an excellent performer. You can Google it on a site called Audiokarma to see audio experts feedback. If the rest of your gear is up to it you may want to consider the Denon here... http://www.needledoctor.com/Denon-DL-110-Cartridge?sc=2&category=369 This is considered one of the best cartridges for the money that will mate well with the Technics tonearm.

Hello PaulI did some quick research and it would appear that this headshell is compatible to the Technics SL 1100. Looks like what Panasonic did was make their headshells compatible on any turntable that has a screw on headshell.

Depends on what you want to spend and how much you can afford for a cartridge. The turntable will spin any record just fine. But for sound quality, you should research cartridges and needles.

Under magnification the stylus tip appears to be shiny black - not transparent or translucent as would be expected of a fine diamond. Hence by deduction the stylus is synthetic. Not sure what a TTUSB (USB turntable?). The cartridge should work on any turntable to which it can mounted. Note that this is a 'throwaway' cartridge at $32 USD (Amazon). There is no stylus replacement for it. Also note that the cartridge's weight can be reduced by about 1/2 (to about 2.5 gm) by removing the metal weight installed on the mounting surface. This fact is to be found in Ortophon documents (which are now obsolete). Caveat Emptor!

our Kenmore MW died several months ago so we no longer have it. e did need to race the glass turntable last year and were very pleased with the one we purchased via Amazon.

Yes, although I have not needed to yet. I believe you can either get them through Crosley or I am sure a place like KAB Electroacoustics would have them as they specialize in turntables.

i am very satisfied with the tascam 222slmkii. to date i have used it to to transfer music and language recordings from cassette tapes to cds.the machine worked flawlessly. it certainly can play cassette tapes and cds through a receiver and separate speakers. i don't have a turntable but my guess is that it will work. you can contact tascam for the information. if you buy the tascam, i think you will enjoy it. good luck.

Yep. The PL12D is an underrated turntable and a great match for this cartridge

Most any "P" mount cartridge should work. The Audio-Technica AT92ECD Universal Replacement Magnetic Phono Cartridge has good reviews and can be purchased through Amazon.com

That sucks. This turntable worked for me for about 2 and half years and now the needle needs to be replaced but I cannot find the correct replacement anywhere. Also - it seems as if they do not have a website or any sort of customer service like you say. I took it in to Guitar Center and the guy told me to check out www.needledoctor.com but I haven't looked into it yet. Good luck!!

I know that Office Depot will accept your old cartridge, and they MAY give you a small credit toward purchasing their merchandise (I believe it may be around $3.00).

I used the Audio Technica on my 40 year old Dual turntable and it works well. I had some difficulty attaching the wires from my Dual tonearm to the universal cartridge adapter as the pins on the adapter were a little bit large, but I finally got them attached. The sound from the AT cartridge is excellent.
