What's the manufacturer name of this turntable cartridge?

[Happy Hopping]

it has a model no. of 1259, but it doesn't have the manufacturer name on it. Can anyone help

 

[Zepher]

Tone Arm?

 

[Happy Hopping]

No, I need the manufacturer name that makes the above turn table cartridge

 

[Nobu]

Is that all you have? No turntable, or other parts?

 

[Happy Hopping]

yes, just the head (the cartridge)

 

[DooLocsta]

Might have better luck on /r/turntables/

it looks the part. https://www.vinylengine.com/library/toshiba/c-100.shtml

I know, someone else send me a link that' s is toshbia, and I actually still have that wooden box, but the box on the right is missing

 

[Nobu]

That appears to be the SR-50 (mentioned in the comments of that vinylengine page linked above), or part of the front of one anyway:

Oop, no, that's a phono amp. But the turntable that uses that cartridge is the sr-50 (and maybe others from the same generation).

so do they need that rectangular box , the Toshiba SZ-1 or not? what if you connect the turntable cartridge to a tone arm w/o that box? can you still run it?

I guess it depends on whether your turntable has phono or line out, which may be indicated on the turntable somewhere or in the manual. If it has phono outputs, you'll need a phono (riaa) pre-amp.

phono (riaa) pre-amp

Most older and some newer receivers and amplifdiers have a built in Phono pre-amp that is for a Phono turntable only and many line level (CD Player cassette deck Tuner and the like) inputs
