Re: Garrard TA/Mark II (4SP) fitted with Chinese Cartridge
Thanks, all, for your helpful suggestions. Today with a bit of fiddling I managed to set the tracking weight to 10 grams, which is the maximum specified by Garrard. The Chinese Cartrige/Garrard Headshell combination weighs about 56g. There's no sign of a lump of lead hidden anywhere in side the pickup assembly. Regarding the stereo connection, on the SRP30C - for some reason Bush used what appears to be a 75 ohm TV aerial socket for this purpose, and there's no switching to bridge the channels, so they'll need to be bridged with a wire. Getting at the spring used to adjust the stylus pressure is impossible without removing the pickup arm, as it cannot be raised enough to see what's inside the rear end.
