Nice, basic turntable. Put a new belt on it, a new cart, clean it up, a little lubrication and you'll have good service for years.

I have a pl-15D II the start switch is the difference. I use the 12d manual. I believe that it is a standard 26"x1/4" belt that sells for $8-$16. I use a 1/4" rubber ban that my mail comes rapped in from the post office. The rubber band is self tensioning and made of natural rubber giving it a non slip quality. It is also silent and does not over tension which could cause egging of bearings. It is 100% on when it comes to platter speed. Best of all, IT'S FREE!
VinylEngine does have a no charge down-loadable PDF file for your TT.
New belt any audio shop.
Cartridge Stanton 600EE, Stylus replacement Stanton D-6800 EEE MK III $70, Same as stylus in Stanton 681 EEE MK II $129, Grado recommends using a Grado Gold cartridge $220 (Gold = the best 5% of testing and Silver ($169) = the best 15% of testing both hand made)) Grado Green $40 mass produce by machines. The prices are approximations of what I have found advertised on the WEB.
They do require a small preamp of some type $30 - $3K (lol).
