Image of PC-50MC
Commentary

The MC cartridge was developed to reflect the superior design philosophy of the high-end PC-70MC.

Uses a newly developed left-right independent 6-pole 4-magnet magnetic circuit.

The use of tapered aluminum pipe cantilevers enables high-fidelity reproduction of program sources.

Remarks * Regarding needle replacement
At that time, it seems that the exchange was carried out by the store.
I don't know if the needle exchange is possible even now.
I recommend you to ask the manufacturer.
Needle exchange price at that time : ¥ 17,500
