Looking for cart machines and carts

Yep, true! Prefer BE series 2100, r/p or play only, and lots of carts......will pay for or trade....as a lot of you do use them, and are going with automation, I will buy resonably priced working (with connectors) cart machines and carts.
Contact [email protected] if you are interested in selling your working cart machines.
Thanx, Carl<P ID="signature">______________

Carl do you want Mono or stereo? what is your budget?
BE 2100's are hard to come by. Mono is best to avoid
phase error, common as carts age or get dropped.
I have both but tend to use mono's more.
Nothing like the fat sound of a cart machine.

Thanks for the ebay idea; didn't think of that last night, but I do prefer to buy from people I "know" in the biz.....but I will check those posts out...........Amazingly I traded with a customer for about $75.00, granted, this machine is in like new condition and I do have several stored away for the museum, but I'm looking for machines for me......Budget isn't a problem, you know how it is; if the price is right.........!!
I have a stereo machine in the studio now and everything I have is stereo (cart machines from FM stations mostly)........Thanks for the shouts!!

You are right my friend!....That FAT sound is killer, and as I work on new computer automation, all the analog gear I have, that I can't seem to part with makes me happier than any old computer does......I'm used to the way they work (and I am totally in love with turntables, but we won't go there!!).
I appreciate your posts to the board; always on topic, always informative!

Carl...Guess I''m going there turntables

Hi Carl and all,

Couldn't help but comment on your post about loving turntables. As a youth, I bought an AR-1 Acoustic Research turntable (Edgar Vilchur design) for about $125 in 1965. I still have it and it still works! This thing is great! I can even play records backwards. Don't know why I want to, but I can. At the time this unit met all broadcast specs. except start up time. I didn't care.

I have two cartridges for it: An Audio Empire 880 E and a Shure M15. I don't use it much now, but it is there when I need it.

I used to have a Garrard turntable. It was OK and it would play records upside down. (Yes it did work, but you had to tape the records to the platter). Sold it to get the AR unit.

Thought you might enjoy this post. Hope so.

Neil
