Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103?

I was looking through Craigslist and found a Technics SL-23 for sale for $150.00. Would this be a good table to mount a Denon DL-103?

Most of the arms on those tables have a mass of 12 grams. If you use that cartridge the resonance frequency will be a high 16hz. https://www.vinylengine.com/library/technics/sl-23.shtml

The maximum weight for that tables arm is 8.5 grams without hardware. You might not be able to balance the arm with that cartridge. I'm just giving you the facts that you asked for!
