Question?
Can you use a Sumiko Fluxbuster on a Black or Rosewood?

Never owned a Fluxbuster but I have used the Cardas Test and Burn in record which has a degaussing sweep test band for cartridge demagnetizing. Seems to work and hasn’t caused any damage to my Koetsu Black and my other cartridges.

Looks like og Koetsu production, for sure. The "lip" of the metal cover plate being cutout is weird. Looks unsightly, but won't affect performance if that's all that's been done to it. The lip can sometimes get too close to the LP surface if it was a low rider; doesn't seem like that would affect this one though. Otherwise, very nice looking cart!
