First off, thanks for anyone who is able to help me answer this question.
This forum has answered many questions for me in the past.
Alright, so here it goes.
I recently bought a used Technics SL-1200MK2 turntable used.
It came with a needle and cartridge (i think that's what its called), but the guy I bought it from informed me that it would be wise to purchase a new needle with cartridge because the current one is a little old and may scratch my records.
I took off the cartridge with the needle off the turntable and have since misplaced them (???).
But I purchased the "SHURE SC35C Standard" product from a local store.
Unfortunately, since I know almost nothing about how a turntable works, I am unable to put it together.
On top of that, I am almost certain that I may have purchased the wrong thing.
Bassically what I am asking here is, what do i need to buy and where at can I buy it in order for me to play some of my records??
If you are confused at this point, I have taken a few pictures--
^^^^As you can see, I am missing the cartridge and the needle on this piece.
^^^^^^^6This is the product I purchased in hopes that I could install the cartridge and the needle in and get my turntable working.
^^^^^^
As you can see here, there is no way this that "SHURE" needle can fit on the 'headshell'.
And, to top it off, the "SHURE" needle also came with a set of tools and pieces??????
Alright, sorry I made you read through that, but ya, If anyone is able to help me out that would be amazing.
