KARMA Audio Technica LP-120

in The Clubhouse
I've got this AT-LP120 that has just been replaced and now needs a loving home. It's in great shape and has had a couple of upgrades in the past three years.
I've added Dynamat to the bottom of the platter to help with the resonance. And I've removed the internal phone preamp (still have it) and bypassed it in order to hard wire in some RCA Jack's. This also has two headshells; one with a brand new Ortofon 2M cartridge.
I'd really like to see this go to someone who's just getting into vinyl or wants to get into vinyl. Because this turntable is a great starting point.
Only three rules:
1. Must live in the continental US
2. Guess the correct number that's between 1 and 100
3. I'd like the winner to pitch in $30 for shipping

I'll announce the winner this Friday afternoon. Good luck!

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

    Thanks for a great karma! In with 47. I don't have a TT, but inherited 70 or so LPs from my father-in-law when he passed. My wife and I have wanted to listen to them for some time.

    Very nice karma... wish I didn't 'impulse buy' a used AT LP120 (silver) a couple months or so ago. This black one is sweet, with some nice mods too.

    Not in, but someone is going to be VERY happy. This is one heck of a table - solid, sounds great, and packed with cool features (like the cue light, sliding pitch adjustment, and if it floats your boat, the ability to reverse direction).

    First class gesture Brian!

    Awesome Karma Brian. Not in, but just wanted to confuse you further by posting another message telling you that I'm not in, but how cool it is of you to offer up this table as a karma. I mean it sincerely, too.

    Nice cart you're including!

    Brian,

    If you're OK with it... I'd like to go in with 50.

    Should I win, I'll then offer up my LP120 as another karma and make it a "pay it forward" karma.

    I just like the black so much better!

    Thanks again for this very generous karma!
