Miracord 50H Turntable

My dad had a Miracord 50H turntable. Unfortunetly, he recently passed away and the turntable has been offered to me. I know little about it in regards to quality and recommendations as to what cartridges might be a good match. I have been looking to get a turntable and thought this would be useful for the time being. My pre-amp is an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A. The amp is McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe with a Revision A Gold uprade and my speakers are Thiel 3.6's. Any help out there? Thanks.

i had a Miracord in the old days with a Stanton 681EE cartridge that brought me great pleasure. If the table is in good condition, it will bring smiles to you as well.

Nostalgia, OK. Sonics-forget it! Buy a used modern turntable, not a changer.

I also previously posted a thread on this topic about idler drive turntables and mentioned the Miracord 50H,one of which I purchased in 1971, using it not as a changer but in single play mode. I challenge the fact that it was a lower end product. I still have a copy of High Fidelity Test Reports, 1973 edition. The 50H's list price was $199.50, the same as a Thorens TD 125AB and Garrard Zero 100. A Dual 1219 was $175. The only turntable which was more expensive was the Empire Troubador 598II at $350; however, this came equipped with a well thought of Model 1000 ZE/X cartridge. Interestingly, an AR-XA was $90, and a Lenco L-75 was $99.95.
