I’ve decided to move this on as I’m not using it & it’s a good little turntable going to waste. It’s direct drive & the arm looks like a Jelco. Strictly collection only on this, I’m only asking £100 and then you can have a listen. I’ve put an old cartridge I had knocking about in to get you started.

That’s a bargain for someone, half tempted myself, wish I was closer.

That's a thing of beauty, in a brutalist industrial way .. rather like an East German retro-engineered Technics deck from the early 80s, strictly for metal or trance of course :D

Sorry Lawrence, your PM was 21:28, Nigel's post was 21:27 so he gets first refusal, you're second in line. Nigel PM me as soon as you can to confirm collection/payment details. Thanks all (should have asked more lol)

Lovely deck. I’ve had...er...several!

The arm is a Jelco - a variant of the SA-370.

Ok, this excellent turntable is available again, due to a massive reduction of my kit collection.

I paid Roy £100 for it and obviously had diesel costs and a 275 mile round trip from collecting it from Romford. I’ve also fitted a better cartridge and arm cable, so I’m asking £120 collected for a very capable direct drive turntable. Please note that there is no lid with these and that there is no bottom cover, that’s how I received it.

Please post or send a pm if interested.

I will also be selling off over 150 classical music box sets, if there is anything that you are after just send me a pm, I may have what you are looking for.


Thanks for looking.

I think this used to be mine a long while back. Cracking TT for the money and nips at the heels of a 1210. I'd love to fettle one and see what could be achieved.

Bumping this turntable.

The cartridge fitted is an Ortofon VMS20E mk2, stylus seems fine but not sure of how many hours are on it. The headshell is a Technics type.
