You might need to get a heavier counterweight if you upgrade to a heavier cart.

Recommended downforce for the Oyster is 1.8g

Remove the dust cover for better SQ.

The manual does give any instructions about alignment other than be careful or let your dealer do it. duh

Just checked Craigslist and there is alot of garage sales this weekend around my area listing records for sale. :thumb:

That's swell.

With any luck, you can buy your own records back.  :?

Ok the Ebay guy said to send him back the Ortofon so I will purchase new. I'm looking at the Denon DL110 or the Ortofon 2Mred which I would also have to get the heavier wt for. I want to stay under 150.00 for the cart any other suggestions. I'm leaning towards the Denon.

I'd suggest trying it, even if you already used another printed-out kind of rig.
