[MVJ]

Friend of mine has a Technics SL1800 TT with an Ortofon VMS 3E cart on in good condition.

Can anyone give me a value for it as he's looking to sell it, I may put it on here for him?

In very good condition, I’ve seen these go for around £200 on a good day.

I don't know the condition really as not seen it yet so if I said £150ish depending on condition does that sound about right?

Doesn’t sound unreasonable mate. It’s the old saying, it’s worth what someone is prepared to pay. I sold one of my turntables last week for £350 but I’d been watching them sell for around £250 so I was lucky. Pictures tell a 1000 words

Yep your right there

He's going to drop it off to me so I can take some nice pics

Looks to be in very nice original condition. In that condition, I would have thought somewhere between £200 - £250 would be nearer the mark. But as the saying goes, it’s worth what someone will pay for it, GLWTS. Love my SL-1700.

Put a Audio-Technica VM95 cartridge on it and it would make a lovely backup or second system deck. You know it makes sense !!

Bugger off I'm trying not to buy it

Anyone else got an idea of value?????

On eBay? £150-200 if lucky. It is pretty minty, maybe more. Have you checked?

No not yet I'm plumbing the depths of knowledge of the wam first

You’ve probably seen the one on eBay for £250 buy it now with 6 people watching.
