I just finished cleaning up/repairing my first turntable. It is a United Audio/Dual 1215S. It needed the contacts cleaned before it would start the motor. I also cleaned the contacts on the cartridge and where it mates to the arm. Mechanically it seems to be fully functional. It was my fathers from when he purchased it in 1970.
I am not very familiar with how to tell the different cartridge types apart. I have the original Shure catridge and a Pickering XV-15/400E cartridge. Are these MC or MM style cartridges? I will be picking up a preamp for this next but I need to know what kind of cartridge they are so I can pick the right preamp.
Thanks!
