CJ Walker CJ55 Turntable

[nat8808]

Beautiful little British turntable - well regarded belt driven deck in it's day.

Asking around £120

Has Linn mounting and is running silently.







CJ Walker's design philosophy was to control resonances by using organic materials so that colourations that couldn't be eliminated would not sound out of place with the music. This includes the use of thin cork feet.

Lid has a few scratches as would be expected for its age which don't really show from a distance. There is some feathering to the bottom edges of the deck too where the medite used there has worn of the years as you can see which could just be shaved off and blacked up to get it closer to perfect.

I'm happy to pack well and ship if need be with all precautions taken with the platter, bearing and lid etc.

I've more photos I can send if people like.

Great that you've joined AoS Norbert - but not so great that you've been a bit of a silly billy and completely ignored the instructions in the email when you signed up, and not introduced yourself before wading in after a bargain...

Best keep a look out over your shoulder - they're coming for you!

If you could do the honours on your next visit that will prevent you from doing bird.

Hi Norbert

I do still have it for sale yes.. Let me know if you're still interested (send me a Private Message if you're familiar with forums).

Sorry for the slow reply - notification emails have been going in the spam.

"Hi, I'm Norbert and I was searching for a CJ Walker CJ55 and google gave me a link to this advert. I couldn't show my interest in it without registering with the forum (I got some automated emails from the forum but I only wanted to quickly ask if the turntable was available but as I don't like spending ages on the internet I doubt I'll be reading the forum or taking part so I didn't bother to read them). I asked my question and was told to write something here about myself first.

I sware, that's how it happened!"

Would that do? Doesn't sound particulary interesting to me...

Being a relatively shy person myself, I'm not particularly keen on the rule (and thankfully never HAD to do it - although I did eventually some 2 years after joining ).

Well Norburt, you're not shy really, are you?: especially when it comes to Walker turntables.

I think you're confusing posters..

Norbert hasn't been back and hasn't followed up his enquiry into the deck either - think he's probably been frightened off when all he wanted was a nice deck to play his vinyl.

Perhaps just someone who is interested in enjoying music rather than jaw jawing about it - not too disimilar an ethic to the forum other than the chatting bit (of course I'm projecting this onto the unsuspecting Norbert who might be nothing like that )
