How much are they asking?
The cartridge is worth zero. Chances are the needle is worn or damaged. This was not a common cartridge, nor was it anything special and replacement styli are non-existent or ridiculously priced due to rarity if you can find them. The turntable is a lighter weight, straight arm, 80s model. Chances are it also needs a new belt. Considering non-functioning auto-return (whether or not it's fixable), total value of the deal...maybe $10-15.

Thanks hakaplan. Here's the CL ad description...asking $40:
'Hello! This is an Onkyo CP-1116A belt drive turntable with new belt. Includes Sonus SR-202 cartridge that has been properly aligned and has tracking force set. This table sounds great and would be glad to demo. No cracks in the dust cover. Includes original paperwork. Auto return and reject feature do not fucntion properly. Might be fixable by someone more mechanically inclined than myself. Local and cash only.'

Too much, I think. He's counting on selling to someone without knowledge. With the new belt, and I'd say $20-$25. If there's nothing else around and you're anxious to get a tt, then try to get him down as much as you can and go for it. It's not an award winner, but it will make good music. I have a similar Onkyo and like it. You can probably get by with the Sonus for a while, but you'll still want to get a new cartridge. Nice that he set the tracking force, but when you get it home you'll have to do it all over again because of vibration during transport. If you have any questions, we'll guide you through everything.
Mystery TT
Thanks again. I'm not too anxious, just looking for something new to play with.
Here's another CL 'potential' I'm waiting an answer on. A little mystery is always fun:
'Hello, i have a Vintage Airline Solid State AM/FM Receiver complete in original Box!!! This Beauty is in like new condition. comes with two Walnut speakers. Also I'm including a pioneer turntable / record Player. the record player is in great condition and the needle is in great shape.'
Kind of a neat looking little receiver, bonus if it has a shortwave band, but oh so curious on what TT he has. $75 for all.
