No, not remotely worth that much. £300 tops plus whatever the cart is worth.

Here is an old thread http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?10512-Technics-SL110

here is one that sold on eBay, without arm, for £266 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Technics-Turntable-SL-110-/322333822318?hash=item4b0c97cd6e:g:0UcAAOSwj85YMIq Q

The arm is pushing the price up. Offer to buy without the arm if you have one you could put on. That techie is also prone to speed drift IIRC. Might as well get a 1210 for that money if you want a techie.

Arm is worth much more than the deck tbh. Its about £250 up on that model in good nick. Cart is not worth much. £400 tops

Bear in mind that Deano is in Malaysia. Availablility and comparative prices there may be somewhat different to here. I agree that by UK standards the package is overpriced though.

thats a good point.

speed drift is still an issue anywhere in the world though

A 1210 or 1200 is superior to the 110 and they must be available for less than £700 even in Malaysia.

Malaysia is a nightmare for turntables all the vintage good ones have been badly modified or destroyed by idiots who dont know what they are doing, i had to import most of my gear over the years

Anyways better choice here in NZ atleast the gear is original and not messed with [emoji6]
