[Jukebox-list] Re: Denon DL-102 Moving Coil Mono Cartridge/GE

[Mechanical Music of S.F.]

OK, I did find them a bit cheaper on ebay, about $180 including shipping.

Stylus is permenant, but can be changed by Denon.

I'll assume that this cartridge is basicly hand built from what I've read, 
but at 3 gram tracking, the stylus should last a good long time.  I have my 
G easily tracking well at 4 grams now with the original GE, so this is 
probably not an issue.

No kidding, I just lubed an F last night that had an old Shure cartridge in 
it (M2, I think) and it was tracking at under 2 grams. No kidding. This is a 
spectacular stat' for an old jukebox, but the toneam mass, geometry and both 
vertical and lateral pivots are well designed on these AMIs.

I thnk for a spectacular F or G, it would be worth the investment.

Just on a side note, the F (firecracker red) I lubed up yesterday had always 
been privately owned, was spectacular, and had a little box inside with all 
of the original removeable packing blocks and materials.  I almost wept.
