Can anyone provide me with specifications or information on the Decca
C4E. Is it a moving coil type? I have one that I'm going to sell. It
appears to be unused, as there is no visible wear @ X20 microscope
magnification.

Moving magnet, IIRC. Think I've got details of an SC4E somewhere - which
was the 'selected' version.

From the 1968/69 HiFi Yearbook :
FFSS Mk4 Cartridge C4E - Stereo/Mono cartridge. FR 20Hz - 20KHz (20Hz -
16KHz +/-2db). Separation as for Mk3. Output 5mv at 5cm/sec per channel.
Stylus 0.3 x 0.65 thou elliptical diamond. Pw 1 to 2.5 gm. Compliance 30 x
10(-6) lateral & 6 x 10(-6) vertical. Rec. load 50K. Output from each
channel balanced within 1db. Price UKP 18.3s.3d (plus UKP3.17s.9d PT)

Thanks for the info Dave.
