Is it worth fixing?

10MB networking is all I got here and is plenty fast enough, tho, if I put a 
'putor next to the Hi-Fi and want to record to a drive on my system in the 
room, a 100MB might be needed, then maybe not.

Never had a ceramic cartridge, so I have no idea. :-( Sorry.

No problems running it here.
