Can anyone identify this cartridge?

I have used cartridge retipper on eBay and he did a great job

This is what the GAS cartridge came off of. I need another TT project like a hole in the head but I love a challenge. I think this one was thrown down a stairwell. The arm is damaged and it would not hold the platter speed. Pulled the motor and found it to be a wet bushing design, the oil was almost rancid. Cleaned it out and replaced with synthetic and adjusted the potentiometers. Now it locks on both speeds. Service manual is worthless, just a parts list, so taking the arm apart is going to be a trial and error exercise.

Thanks Lee, just one small part of it, it’s actually about 40 feet long.

What's the "sewer" pipe for...

It looks like a central bong system

Dust collection system that is in the other room. Those pictures are from when I was building so it doesn’t show the slide gates that allow me to open and close each inlet. I wanted to be able to pull suction from each work station.

Looks great, I probably could never find anything though cause everything is organized

That was actually one of the design goals, keep everything clean and organized.
My old shop was a disaster, couldn’t find shit, dust everywhere and dark.

I have always been a bit of an organization freak.
I tell my girlfriend that the difference between a collector and a hoarder is the value of their junk. Nando, feel free to use that one, lol.

Where is the clock above the door?

Nice work space...

I could live there.

Until I starved.

But that’s okay.

Spencer: One of nicest shops I've seen.

beautiful shop! That pedestal grinder's material collection system is ingenious and inspirational! I assume you built that?

Thanks
I got the idea from a guy who built one similar but he used receiver hitches welded to a 6 inch piece of pipe. I don’t weld very well and wasn’t setup to build it out of steel, so I built it out of wood. It works really well, wish I had taken more pictures when I built it but basically each grinder is mounted to a platform that slides in to a mating slot. You pull the top one out, move the one you want to use into the vacant slot and place the one you removed from the top down into the vacant slot. Not rocket science but I can swap the whole grinder out 10x faster than changing one grinding wheel.

That’s a brilliant idea.
