Shell: Audio Craft AS-4PL Cartridge: DENON DL-303 The needle is in a condition that can be confirmed with the naked eye. This item belonged to my grandfather. I have not been able to confirm its operation due to lack of an environment to do so. It has been stored in a room with humidity control throughout the year. Although it is old, I personally believe it is in good condition as shown in the images. I do not have expert knowledge, so I apologize, but I may not be able to answer any questions. Please make your judgment based on the images. Also, please purchase only if you understand that this is an old, used item. I plan to continue listing many items related to records, such as cartridges and shells. If you purchase multiple items at the same time, I will consider a discount. If you are interested in audio, records, or sound equipment, please follow me.
