Hey All!


My new Thorens TD 125 mkII was just delivered (!) and the eBay seller knew nothing about the cartridge mounted on the SME (!) headshell except that it was a moving coil model. It has a lovely wooden body, but I've never seen this manufacturers insignia before, and trolling The Needle Doctors online inventory I can't find anything similar. I realize this cartridges age could be commiserate with that of the Thorens. The arm doesnt have a removable headshell, so I want to try to avoid removing the cartridge to check, if possible. Does anybody recognize the make and model, please?

Seeing the bottom of the cart would be a help. There may be a marking or engraving that would give us a better idea.

I just did a few lengthy google image searches and the closest I can find to the logo in your pic would be Shure, but I saw no wooden ones.

that looks to me like a japanese moving coil cart of some type. post this on audioasylum.com in vinyl and you may get your answer. a clearer pic would be nice too.
