Some tools of the trade you should have, all in around $30

A digital scale will make things so much easier


A simple to use alignment protractor


jeweller's loupe to examine the stylus for cleanliness etc


added to the above list you should also have something to keep the stylus clean, I've used this for more than two decades with great results.

There's an ATS-13 on eBay right now. The price seems a little low, unless the seller doesn't know what they have. Or it's not an authentic ATS-13. The color is correct though.

Didn't catch that. Yes, if it's a genuine AT, it should bear the logo and the tip guard is usually a smoked clear. Also doesn't say if it's nude or bonded.
Further digging:
The number on the case is an Electro Voice number. According to Vinyl Engine, it's an aftermarket nude eliptical. Hence no logo.
