For sale, my Pro-Ject Genie 1.2 turntable, in fantastic condition, boxed.

Its been hardly used, due to me having a very inquisitive 2yr old, and 2 cats.

I now have another turntable, with cover so this is surplus to requirements and taking up space!

Needs a new home, so selling for £110 delivered by courier (UK mainland only)

£90 if collected from Kings Lynn area.

I had one of these, put it up for sale here too I think. Anyway, it was my first real "modern" turntable and they have terrific WAF as they are a real statement.
Ended up putting mine on the Bay and I got good money for it too! I would advise anyone thinking about buying it do so as this is a good looking example.
Reason that used ones bring good money on the Bay of Fleas is many dealers selling off stock won't ship overseas and the Scandanavian punters really like them - in my experience - as i had a lot of enquiries from Denmark and Sweden, and sold it to a Danish guy.
