[Vintage-Audio] PICK-UP: SME ARM ON THORENS 124 TURNTABLE

[Welsh]

Hi

Thanks for the information.

The Excel cartridge is marked as follows <Excel ES-70S>. It has a chromed,
metal body.

Do you have any idea of what it is/was like in terms of performance,
reviews, opinions, etc?

Any assistance would be appreciated

Regards
