Yes, they do. In fact, we've been using three of them for the last four years without any problems for use with our 16" transcription library. I believe they normally come with the Stanton 500 cartridge with a 2.7 mil stylus for 78/transcription work. However, they don't come with a preamp, so you'd need some sort of outboard unit. Our unit is the ATEN seven speed model still selling for $499, but no longer comes with the cartridge; that is a separate purchase. We bought ours from this vendor and had excellent service, but there are, of course, others who sell the deck and preamps: http://www.garage-a-records.com/w1.html They carry other tables, so you aren't obligated or steered to just Esoteric. Hope this is of help. Rod Stephens Family Theater Productions Angie at Avocado Productions wrote: >Esoteric Sound sells modified turntables.
