Very good physical condition. It does play albums but will not pick up at the end.

Very rare table.

The shop I took it to estimated $125.00 to fix it.

$200.00

    Most people do not have a clue how rare and what a good deal this is. I will call you tomorrow around 9:00AM.

    I am out of zip code 62234.

    Shipping this thing scares the hell out of me so if we can work some way of local pickup this is preferred.

    Be well,

    Tom

    I do. :) I saw one of these auctioned on ebay last month. When it was all over this same model table sold for 854.00 big ones. ;)

    Good luck with your sale.

    .... thats right. I forgot all about that, but I knew there was a reason I said keep it.... Regardless of what you decide, dont sell it to anyone that is going to turn around and do the same thing for 3times more than you did;)

    Is it possible to clean that black finish? I had an old Yamaha turntable for decades, but I could never really get it clean.

    I typically would not do this but safe and sound gave me such a good deal on my turntable and some other audio components that I bought from him that I will have to highly recommend any transaction with his store.

    A+++++++ to put it in flea bay terms.
