Very cool retro turntable. Unit is fully functional, speed is right, sounds good, and comes with an NOS replacement cartridge.
Unfortunately, the mechanism that the dust cover hinges on has broken off and appears to be a tricky repair. That being said, this is not in view whatsoever, and dust cover simply lifts off with no issue. This is a bummer but does not affect function of the unit and is not noticeable during operation (see photos).
Turntable may come partially disassembled for safe transit. We will not give returns for setup issues, including belts coming dislocated or other mechanical issue that can be fixed. Buyer takes responsibility for all set up and maintenance and you may be required to do your own troubleshooting. Price reflects this.
We do however guarantee that the unit arrives in one piece in the physical condition it left in. If any thing breaks beyond repair, we will of course issue a full refund upon return of the unit.
