New to vinyl

Hello everyone. I recently got into the vinyl scene after i got hooked to it by a friend. i got a sony ps-x6 locally and have been enjoying the experience so far.
Knowing that this is an old table, i full expected to do some maintenance work on it. So far i've fixed the speed issue that it had, and sprayed deoxit on the pot as suggested in posts i've read. Is there anything else i should do to bring the cart up to date?
Thanks.

Do you know how old the cartridge is? Has anyone with some expertise examined it closely?

Depending on how much you value your records, and what kind of condition they're in, you might want to spring for a new cartridge, so that you know it's new, and not going to do any damage to your records. Personally, I wouldn't play my LPs with a cartridge if I didn't know the history of it.
 
hi back to all those who said hi.:) thanks for the welcome.
johne, i installed an audiotechnica at11e cartridge with a new ats12 needle on it. i feel that the bass is a little on the light side but like you said at least know where and when this stylus came from.
maybe when i'm more familiar with the art, i'll know better which way to take my gear.
