krsjuan Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 wait. so you have the headshell?the cart is pretty much what attaches the stylus to the headshell. most carts come with a standard stylus and thats what most peeps use to the best of my knowledgeso just go for a cheap cart that has a stylus included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggssell Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 the headshell is that thing you can twist.heres a cartridge with styluswhich screws onto the headshelltechnics did make belt drive machines. you may have got one of those. does it say technics anywhere else?? but when you say you can lift the platter off, is the platter spinning via a magnet, are you sure yours is a belt drive. my old man had a belt drive marantz (which we use to scratch on when he wasnt around ha ha), and the platter never came off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Choi Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 100% it's belt driven I can take te rubber off it. I think when I go get needles I'll bring whatever I have in and they should tell me what else i need or if I need new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
