How do I install my cartridge?

vewy, vewy carefully.

No screwdriver? To really do it right, you also need an alignment gauge, a cartridge scale, and a Fozgometer. That is almost $450 worth of stuff, although someone with lots of experience may be able to do it with less. The bare minimum would be a DB Systems protractor and a Shure mechanical scale (about $80, together.) In your case, there is no doubt that you should find someone to do it for you who has the tools and knowledge.

The glass thing is there to protect the cantilever from you. It should pull off easily, but you have to pull in the right direction.

Might be a stupid question, but is there a website that I can ship my equipment to and pay them around 30 dollars to have them install and align my cartridge and ship it back?

Where do you live? Maybe someone can recommend a dealer.

read this an do it yourself. You will have a much better analog experience learning how to do it yourself versus someone else installing.

You wont even be able to ship it for $30 much less get it repaired and shipped back. Find someone local to do this for you, pay attention and learn.

Or buy Michael Fremer's DVD on how to set up your turntable. It is available at a number of on line vinyl retailers for about $30. follow his instructions and you should be ok.
