ZEN cartridge ?

@chakster
looks more like Victor MC L-1000 in operation mode, in fact it is directly coupled, the coils are close to the stylus.

All best Victor MC are direct coupled type: MC-1 and MC-L10 have almost identical plastic cartridge body to your ZENN, I’m curious why? 

MC-L1000 visually does not look like ZENN.

I own a Zenn mcz/2 and it is a wonderful cart.
I also own both Victor MC-1 and MC-5E.
it is quite remarkable how similar the ZENN and the MC-1 sound. Easily two of my favorite cartridges ever-so far...
unfortunately the MC-1 I acquired was NOS from the estate of Bill Johnson of Audio Research I just noticed the substrate the coil is printed on is delaminating.
it still sounds great but not for long.....

MC-L1000 visually does not look like ZENN.

in fact my clarification did not refer to aesthetics but to the principle of functioning of Zen not Zenn.  :)

when it deteriorates it will be the end, a lot is also due to the dust that settles in the space where the reels move.
