Hi all - new poster here.
I am wondering if you can help with the following...
I was lucky to pick up a Technics SL5310 turntable at a good price and have a few questions I'd really appreciate help with...
First of all, the deck came with an audio-technica headshell and a mystery cart:
I also received the following:
I'm assuming that the loose headshell is the original for the deck. The blue cart appears dead straight whereas the AT120E has I think a slight bend to one side and I'm sure is a reason for the replacement:
I have no idea of the history of the deck so I'm wondering if anyone has any advice (which shell / cart to use) as it's not really something I know a lot about.
I'm just waiting for a suitable plug before I try it out (it's a two-pin European plug without fuse).
I also have no idea about tracking force and how to set the arm up (I'm assuming the arm is common across other decks?)
Thank you in advance
