I've listed this turntable twice before at what I thought was a reasonable price - apparently it wasn't. I need it gone. $500 is a steal.

 

I've had this turntable for 30 years. I haven't played vinyl for many years and so time has come allow someone else the joy of owning this.

 

Specs are:

CJ Walker brand (1980s)

Grace G707 tonearm

Goldring G1020 cartridge and stylus

Original cover (repaired - see photo)

Original hinges with covers

Original platter

Original (bronze) bearing is lubricated and in good condition

New belt

 

It has just had a full service and set up. The timber veneer is pretty good. It has a few little marks. I didn't attempt any rep[airs to the veneer, but I did apply a little wood polish. I have polished the lid. I didn't buff the lid as I wanted to present the turntable as naturally and honestly as possible.

 

Pricing it has been quite tricky, but after discussing it with a few people and some input from SNA members I settled on a price that seems reasonable.. Apparently the Grace tonearm can sell for $400-$500.

 

I'd rather not ship it if I can avoid it, but feel free to contact me.

The tonearm alone is worth more than the asking price! GLWTS

Indeed. Of course I am super reluctant to part it out despite it probably being the better financial option.
