How old is the BSR?

Most of the BSR turntables I am familiar with from the
60s and 70s were cheaper than cheap and had ceramic
cartridges.

The BSR was factory-mounted on top of the Sharp SG-164U
receiver/8-track unit.
My guess is that it is from 1970 (+/- 5 years).

Indubitably a ceramic cartridge.

Correct. See my post from last night with "resolved" in title.

BTW, I remember always hearing BSRs were crap, but this one
seemed not bad - except for the fact that it had seized up (can
ANYONE explain what may have happened?), it appeared very well-
built.

The best turntable /I/ ever owned was a Swiss Lenco with a
little weight on a string for anti-skating. It was sold for
under $100 in 1974, too!
