A Denon DL-305 MC Moving Coil Turntable Cartridge, #6329, without a cantilever, stylus, or DL-305 nameplate.
I inherited this cartridge when I purchased a Nakamichi Dragon CT turntable and it was affixed to the TA-100 tonearm. Clearly the previous owner had paired these two deliberately, however, the cantilever, stylus, and nameplate did not ship safely and I do not have the broken pieces. As the cartridge was still connected to the tonearm and wiring when I received it, I assume it would be fully functional if repaired.
Wish I could be offering this item in fully operational condition; however, its provenance would indicate that it could be brought back to spec with some attention and care, while it is rare enough that it would be worth doing so.
