Hi,Originally Posted by struth
it is, mind you not perfect there are one or 2 minor marks but for the price I paid I'm delighted with both the condition AND how it sounds, it is missing the 45rpm adapter so will add that at some point just to make it complete. It doesn't have hinges either so have to just lift the lid off, but I don't mind that either as I would use it without lid anyway.
I have to say Steve at HiFi Hangar who I bought it from was brilliant to deal with, he phoned me Thursday teatime as I had left a message earlier in the day and gave me a great deal and said he would get it sent via UPS next morning, it arrived at about 10am on Monday morning in a huge box, filled with bubble wrap and the TT itself was superbly protected with all parts wrapped individually, the cartridge has supposedly less than 20 hours on it ( although I've added another 5 already lol ).
I have no hesitation in recommending Steve to anyone else who wants to buy any of his gear, the 1210 I bought was exactly as described.
Mike.

Great pics but it's not a 'MK5G', the '5G' has the silver flecked gloss black finish and the adjustable pitch range but I'm sure you knew that anyway.Some piccies ( taken on phone so nothing special )
I actually think this version looks more 'purposeful and really like the look of it.

Guys a quick question whilst the technics gurus are mostly all in one place, what's the difference between the MK5, MK5G & MK6

MK5 - greater range of anti-stake adjustment compared to the mk2 and the lid is held in place with magnets
M5G - special edition with high gloss finish with metal flakes, special digital pitch slider than can switch between 8% and 16% range, fancy blue cue light, hinged lid, tonearm has a fancy finish and OFC wiring and the body has improved damping
MK6 - is basically the M5G without the fancy finished plinth, arm or the fancy pitch slider but keeps the OFC wiring and damping improvements.
Current equipment: Cornscalas - Quicksilver Horn Monos - Technics 1210 M5G with Zu Denon 103R cartride and Haufe SUT.
