It has the weight and a good stylus.

Thanks,
John.

Nice. It's looks like it has a Realistic/Shure stylus.

The selector lever for the cuing is not working, feels loose or has split.:scratch2:

Even came with a good belt!:thmbsp:

Thanks,
John.

CEC made some good OEM tables. This MCS is similar to one that was also available from Realistic as well as Rotel and Audioreflex.

I had one of these and sold it, I like the two stage cuing.

It is in the wings for now, have the PL-550 to work on next.

Thanks,
John.

An awesome medium end tt...

That is not a bad cartridge. I have a couple of the wider bodied R25XT version of it. Sounds good if you track at about 3 gms. Nice looking turntable. I have an MCS 6603 which was made by Technics and a CEC made Scott turntable. Both are well made solid performers. The arm on yours looks just like the Realistic Lab 300 that I gave to my grandson. Definitely a CEC made turntable. You should enjoy yours.

Ok, I got it working...


MCS 6401 semi-auto tt. by jleon92f, on Flickr

Works nice, needs cuing lube...500K.

Thanks,
John.

 

[jleon92f]

Still needs something, does not drop to record sometimes.

Speed is good, belt and cart are good. No hum!

Thanks,
John.

 

[Balifly]

Nice fix!:thmbsp:

 

[jleon92f]

All set now, the arm floats down to the record surface!:thmbsp:


Sounds great! works like it should now. by jleon92f, on Flickr

A little TLC cleaning and it is almost mint...


Thanks,
John.

Looks great! Another very nice job, John. :thmbsp:

 

[jleon92f]

Nice fix!:thmbsp:

Thanks, I got this from a guy in Tucson, packed well for the short trip.

I like the 2 stage cuing..which I just figured out..

Thanks,
John.

Looks great! Another very nice job, John. :thmbsp:

Thank you, this one was a lot easier than some of the others. I like the tonearm on this model.:thmbsp:

I replaced the belt..ready to go to new home.

Thanks,
John.

Nice job, John - again! I ran across one of those at GW the other day but passed because there was no counterweight (or headshell and the belt was fouled in the mechanism). Still, it looked like a very decent turntable.

I'm guessing C.E.C. rather than Technics who made a lot of MCS tables, including the quartz DD T4P auto-return Model 6604 I have on the bench here.

Another MCS to surprise a new listener down the way. Well done

 

[jleon92f]

Thanks, I like this model, quiet and smooth.:thmbsp:

John.

 

[jleon92f]

That was fast, it IS going to a new home. Have to pack her up.

On to the next one...

Thanks,
John.
