Wanted Turntable

[mikegreenwood]

Looking for a really nice example. Open mind on make but not looking for a refurbishing project. Need not have an arm or Cart but Rega geometry or changeable arm board would ne nice. Condition paramount, mechanics and electrics to be in good order. Price to be dependent on age, condition. Etc.
Can collect N/E area.

Are you interested in an upgraded techie 1210?

I've got a really nice JVC TT71 mounted in a Cuban mahogany/bamboo plinth - has excellent hinged lid/Isonoe feet/Supra captive mains cable - armboard currently Hadcock, but can be supplied with a Rega geometry board - I can sort some pictures if you're at all interested. MH

Sounds ace - post pics for our obsession anyway?

Apologies for crazy amounts of dust - something I fight a constant battle with, having a woodburner.
The Cuban mahogany is from an 18th century table leaf - it is of the very finest grade, and is extremely dense - the central core is phenolic, with bamboo in between - my attempt at constrained layer damping. The rather unorthodox DIY Hadcock rebuild is not for sale - the armboard is currently an ebony laminate, but I would replace with a new one (I have got some Panzerholz knocking around...) I would also need to make a little brass cover for the current cable routing

WOW - looks ace!

Nice looking deck who has modded the Hadcock

[vinylist]

That does look rather lovely. How does it sound?

Loving that wood

It sounded excellent with an RB300 and AT150mlx - the Hadcock and MMIII put it in a different league - it is absolutely on a par with my primary source (CD)

:eek: It should sound much better than CD

I bought the counterweight assembly from the excellent Xaudio on eBay, everything else (bar the seashell, upper bearing assembly and the hydraulic airlift thingy - all came off a scrap Hadcock) I knocked up at work - the armtube is a carbon fibre crossbow bolt shaft sleeved out with concentrically bonded aluminium tubing with phosphor bronze ends - wiring is some crazy Kondo stuff according to the chap I got it from - it is rather effective

I have an acoustic signature samba with rb300 external power supply double box so shipping possible but I didn't get your budget
