TECHNICS SL 150/SME 3009 Series 111s arm/ORTOFON 540 cartridge /QED QUNEX 1 cable. I purchased the turntable new many years ago and have updated it with an SME arm, Ortofon 540 cartridge and a QED Quinex 1 phono cable. The Ortofon 540 Mk 2, new can be purchased online for over £500 alone. There are a couple of problems: The SME tonearm has a small indent next to the arm rest with the little plastic retainer missing . Also, the bottom of the case has a couple of screws which cannot be secured tightly as the were cracked when I overtightened them when changing the QED cable. The casing however is still sturdy however with the other screws intact. The SME instruction manual is included. I cannot find the original box. I would prefer collection for obvious reasons and the buyer can test it out, but will package it well if not able to do so.

QED Variable Moving Coil Pre-amplifier / Cartridge Equaliser MCA.1 boxed Vintage Moving Coil Preamplifier For use in addition to an amplifier with an existing Moving Magnet input. Or more simply an amplifier or phono stage for standard cartridges. This is a lot of fun It comes with a chart for many vintage moving coils. Instructions on how to work out correct loadings. Nice that you can try out any combination you want, with different value caps & resistors. Having said that There are a bunch of resistors included. And two fitted There is only the currently fitted capacitors. The 2nd pair of capacitors are absent. As these appear to be regular film caps it’s not going to be a problem to replace them Runs from 2 x AA batteries internal. They last months/ years depending on use.
