FS Technics SP10 MKII

i've finally decided to part with my second sp10, purchased last february and hum, played about 5h ever since...
for the next 5 years, the living-room system will definitely be a cd-only area for family reasons

video of the actual TT here

both TT and power unit are in very nice cosmetic condition as they have been serviced just prior i got them and they work great. stop/brake is dead-on, strob lights nicely. being the worst plug-n'play, no-nonsense, manually/technically challenged kind of guy, i find the sp10 the ultimate no-brainer drive system to enjoy lps.

wait, there's some special features:

the upper and lower inside have been damped with iso-butyl for less resonance matters by robert, its previous owner*. check the result on his videos here
(this is indeed the actual TT)

next it's been coated in metallic-gray epoxy. nice job* done by robert but epoxy tends to somehow react on aluminium with some marbling effects.
i had planned to have it stripped back to OG, it ain't no big deal and not that xpensive (remember my handy skills?) then chosen to live with it as the unit was intended to be childproof and the paint sure protects the deck from say, greasy little fingers...

both units weigh 15kgs>20kgs boxed. it will be insured/tracked thru french postal office for around £45 (maybe less). and of course you can arrange to have it picked up here by courrier of choice if you get better rates on your side.

art price is 700£ (+ ship) and i give 3 CA Electronics pure ceramic cones ($140) with it for good measure

10523

10524.

i'd prefer bank transfer payment, as paypal is already filthy rich and though i live in france, you can trust my swiss nationality on that deal.:rolleyes:

keep on direct drivin'

This is one of my five most favourite and respected turntables ever, and I have seen some and more. The price you are asking is just ridiculously low. You sure it isn't a typing error? If I didn't already own another master piece of TT engineering I would have snapped this up.

Good luck with the sale.
