I bought this turntable from here not so long ago with the intention of putting it in a custom designed plinth, as I presumed that the electronics were contained in a "cake tin" arrangement, but sadly for me they are not, so I am going to look elsewhere for something more my style.
It has really surprised me by just how good it is, so much so my Origin Live Encounter 3C 'arm & Koetsu Urushi Vermillion are not held back in any way, it really is a fabulous combination. Operation is simple, the quartz lock system is impressive & it goes from zero to full speed in a third of a revolution, & stopping is almost as quick. The speed is rock solid on both 33 & 45 rpm, & is a UK voltage deck. It comes with the original rubber mat in great condition, as well as the original adjustable feet, although the lid has been lost in the mists of time. The plinth is pretty good given the turntables age, sure there are one or two light scratches, minimal though they are, but the veneer is perfect & not coming apart anywhere. I will take better pictures tomorrow in daylight to show more detail, but as you can see it is more than presentable. It has 2 armboards, one for OL/Rega fit 'arms, which is black, & the original rosewood veneered one, which is cut for something I can't remember just now!
This ad is for the turntable only, the cartridge is not for sale at any price, but I am not so wedded to the 'arm. I am more than happy to keep it, but should there be a discussion to have I am happy to have it.
I am asking just £350 for the turntable. I don't have the original box & packing so I would have to sort something with the buyer, but I will not be entrusting a courier with it.
