Not sure what you mean

If you look at the "Vintage Audio" section, you will see threads marked "sticky" (i.e. they remain at the top of the list of threads), one of which is labelled "Garrard record player identification".

The model number is visible in the first photo, minus its final zero: it's a 3000.

The tubular tone arm in the deck allows for good quality cartridges to be used, particularly the Sonotone 9TA/HC. The cartridge you show was never fitted to this deck as it was not contemporaneous with it. You can of course fit a new Ceramic Stereo cartridge given it has a standard 1/2" mount.
