Great starter turntable or anyone wanting to retrieve their collection from the attic
I have serviced this by changing the belt, cleaned and re-oiled the Main Bearing and replaced the ball-bearing, and gave a nice clean and washed the lid. I checked out the foam in the suspension springs, and they were fine and not disintegrating (picture 4). There are a couple of marks and scratches on the lid, but I decided not to polish these out. I suspect the previous owner had left this running since the Main Bearing was seized and the rubber belt had been ground into the inner top plate this can't be seen with the platter on and I have cleaned this up (last picture), but full disclosure.
Comes with 45 adaptor, outrigger weight and original Pioneer Headshell with brand new headshell wires.
I can offer this with a choice of either Audio Technica AT91 cartridge or Ortofon VMS5E
Collect from Maidenhead for £100
and here it is playing using an Ortofon DJ cartridge on Youtube
