I just came into posession of a Technics SL-D1 turntable. Its in excellent condition, but I can't seem to find any info on it. Trying to find out when it was made. It's got a Shure M44-7 cartridge. Is there a site to find out what other cartridges are interchangeable with the Shure, if I want to upgrade? Does Technics have any listings for older turntables? Thanks

And, Shure still makes that cartridge, so you can get a replacement stylus easily, and I believe there is actually a stylus upgrade you can do to get an eliptical instead of the standard spherical that comes on that one.

Just following up.
Did the manual come in and did you ever get in touch with Kevin?

Hi Brandon,
Sorry I didn't answer you right away. I was away on vacation. I got the manual and it was a great help in assembling the turntable. Now I'm waiting for a new cartridge to be delivered. Should sound great. And the new cartridge will work on my other Technics turntable so that is a bonus. Thanks for your help.
