The L-FX4 was a wonderful fully automatic turntable with direct-drive system and highly desirable due to the speed control. There were two versions of this turntable;L-FX4 and L-FX4B. The L-FX4 has a universal tonearm and came from the factory with a MD1055B cartridge and DT-55B stylus. However if you have the L-FX4B version, then it has an integrated tonearm and comes with an MD1045B cartridge and DT-45 stylus.
