    I sold mine a few years ago. Hardly anyone works on them. They need a special guide to line the cart. Up. Parts are close to extinct. If you have someone local that knows how to get them up and running or has the tool or guage to get a cartridge to line up and can keep them going, cool.

    THought you were getting out of vinyl? Did the Rega sell? This table looks pretty cool but I know nothing about it and if ernie is right then upkeep may be impossible. Appears to be the same seller as the other stuff you PM'ed me about- nice collection for sale at good prices. Don't see a road trip a possible right now, but maybe in a couple weeks.

    Going to go against the grain here and say grab it if you can. That table is considered by many to be the best linear tracking table ever made. I have seen them sell for ten times the asking price of this one (in perfect shape of course), so of this one works as it should I consider this one a steal.

    The cool factor alone is worth a C note.
