Woof! Whats up with the headshell being canted to the right?

Really nice score there Larry! Love those old MicroSeikie's, you mentioned a Shure cart in the other thread, what is that one?

 

[speakerman1]

It is a Shure M97xE. It has gotten very good reviews for the price. Jico makes an upgraded stylus for it. I may try it. It is another 120.00. Would have as much in the cart as I do the table.

OK you TT heads you. I need help. I have searched for hours for a manual. Don't tell me the usual places. I did find some info. Micro didn't make their own tone arms. It looks like a Grace 727 or a Universe 2002. I found a Dutch Grace manual. LOL Lot of help. No Universe Manual. Where can I find them?

Larry

PS I can't even find a DQ-44 manual.

Did you try Rick Stout??

 

[speakerman1]

Yes he is usually my go to guy. He lives right across the mountain.

Larry

 

[laatsch55]

Good man that Rick.

 

[stuwee]

The Grace you probably have on it, isn't all that hard to set up..or do you just want the manual to have handy? Older tonearms are pretty intuitive to set up with a protractor and stylus gauge. Do you know which Grace it is?

I'd look for a nice Shure V15 III or IV for that arm, and upgrade the stylus with a Jico, you'll love the sound and the way it tracks or shell out some big bucks on a Grace F9

 

[speakerman1]

It looks like a Grace 727

Larry

 

[gamve]

Don't think is is a grace. The anti skating ain't right for a grace. Looks more like a budget Micro arm

 

[speakerman1]

Ho Gamve
Micro didn't build their arms. Which Micro is the question? Should I go with a different Micro arm. I have found so many different things on micros. Just no manual. LOL It also looks like a universum F2002.

Larry

 

[Fairchild]

There is a manual for the DQ-43 on the Vinyl Engine, however I don't beleive they are the same.

Jim

 

[speakerman1]

No they aren't but I like the arm. Also found out Jelco built some of the arms. I think it looks like a Jelco 215. Alot of people built the arms and NEC built some of the tables.

Larry

 

[speakerman1]

Is there a such thing as a budget tonearm?. Will have to wait till it gets here then take pics and hope someone can identify it.

Larry

 

[stuwee]

It's a Grace, not sure which one tho. The headshell is weird, have to see more, I'll look it up. Nice grab tho Larry

 

[speakerman1]

You wouldn't believe what I paid for it. Take guess and don't cheat and google it. LOL I can't remember which grace it looks like. I didn't pay what it says. I did the OBO route. You never know if you don't ask. I haven't looked up the Pioneer cart.
