Hello,
Does anybody have any information (recommended VTF, etc) on this cart?
I just won one and it does not have the spec sheet. I did check the cartridge database and it doesn't have much info either. Thanks!

From a 1977 Audio Annual: Tracking force 2 grams plus or minus 1/2, recommended load resistance 100 kOhms and load capacitance 100 pF. The loading is a little unusual since its a quad cartridge, so some experimenting might be worth while.
Output is a little low: 3 mv at 5 cm/s, though plenty of other moving magnets are in the same ball park.
You might encounter problems with the damper being dried up, but the equally old 680 and 681s I've come across have been ok, so you might be lucky.
Hope it works for you.

Oh -- if it has the brush, either remove it, or set your tracking force for a gram extra, to compensate for balancing its mass.

Nat,
Thanks for the info! I'll let you know how it is when I receive it.

Just a quick update.
I received the cart on Saturday and was able to mount it this morning. As Nat mentioned, it does have fairly low output. I listened to it for a bit and it seems pretty nice. I'll need more time to fully evaluate it. I also need to check the alignment as I did an eyeball alignment this morning.
