Turntable offer

After putting myself into the fray for Russman's xm tuner, it occurred to me that there was another piece of equipment I wasn't using that maybe I could trade for one.

I have a Denon DP-80 turntable in the optional heavy base. For those of you who don't know, this is the highest-end table Denon made. In the mid 70's the editor of The Absolute Sound used it as his reference TT. This one has been painted white and has an armboard for a Premier MMT tonearm as well as the original armboard that was for a Denon arm. The table has been around for a while and the dust cover shows it. This is a massive turntable -- it weighs around 50 pounds. You would need a tonearm and cartridge to get it up an running.

In any case, I would be willing to trade the table for a Polk xm tuner. Any takers?

    I found a link with a picture of the dp-80. Not much out there about it.....

    It was originally the color in the picture, but was painted white (just the base) many years back.

    Also, it was from the late 70's, early 80's. I never read a review about it, but was told that HP from TAS used it as his reference in the 70's. I can't seem to confirm that now....
