Hi,

I have an Unitra Fonica phono cartridge with a Mf104 stylus and I want to use it for restoring an old turntable. Unfortunatelly I don't have any specs about it. Can someone help me, please?

I don't know if it's a good idea to use that cartridge. I restored an old Fonica turntable but the first thing I did was to get rid of MF 104 and replace it with Ortofon OM10 Super. If you do so, you'll probably have to modify (grind off a bit) the tonearm's counterweight since it's too heavy for Ortofon.

MM cartridge made in Poland, in a best case new old stock. Probably r.i.p. DDR-licensed. Spherical tip. I don't recommend - too old school. Any Ortofon, Goldring, Sumiko or Pro-Ject, would be better choice.

but,

if you realy want this ancient sound, then idea given bay Bego is best.

Allegro is like Polish e-Bay, and it's equally reliable.

Thank you all for the answers. I'm sure there are many cartridges better than this, but Ithis is what I have and I intend to use it. In fact I only want to replace the ceramic cartridge on a old and cheap turntable.
