Have offer of $800 that will be accepted tomorrow evening if I don't get anything better. Feel free to make an offer above that. This is a Koetsu Black cartridge. Note it is NOT Black Goldline. Not sure the exact history of this cart. It is not stamped by Musashino Audio Lab. From what I found on the internet this may be a batch from before the Musashino Labs ones (pre 1985). I bought this cartridge from Sound Hounds in 2010. They told me it has aprox 2000 good hours left on it at the time. The main purpose of my turntable is archiving music that hasn't been digitized. I put well under 100h on it. I emailed Koetsu South East Asia and was quoted SGD1650 = 1,605.28 CAD for a total rebuild. They said it will be treated as a black goldline for rebuild. An American distributor quoted 1700USD for rebuild. I was given a killer deal on this cart when I bought my new Rega P2-24. Getting rid of it as the cart sells retail for more than the table and I don't feel like it's a platform it can really shine on. Also most people say Koetsu's have a specific sound. Since my rig is mainly for archival purposes I'm going to get a more neutral cartridge. I do not have the original box. Locals are welcome to audition. Can do etransfer, paypal, and crypto. Here's a dub of two records, one new and in good shape, the other old with some damage. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1blchksDb5sXEQuy4s2q9sLWc2sDOYVdi. Lineage will be Koetsu Black -> Rega P3-24 -> Cambridge Audio Azur 640P -> Realtec ALC892 chip to digitize.
