Boston Acoustics MC-1E - questions, info?
I recently bought a trashed turntable because it had a interesting looking cartridge on it. It said Boston on the front like the Boston Acoustics logo. I looked it up and found very little, mainly just a passing mention. The model number, MC-1E is on top of the cart. It also says - Japan - and -eliptical - I believe this is a MC cart.
After setup this thing skips as it gets closer to the center of the record untill it is not playing at all. I am guessing this is due to wear? Anyone have eny information about this cart, is it worth a retip? any suggesions on where I would go or look?
The tt is playing perfectly right now with a Ortofon OM10, so the table is sound.
TIA, all of my experence is with MM and their user replaceable stylus. I am afraid this thing is probably worthless, but thats the gambles one takes when looking for finds on the cheap.
