I bought this almost a year ago and overall it's a been great piece of kit, however i like to fiddle about and change things upgrade components etc. and this deck doesn't lend itself to that so i'm looking to move it on.
So what can i tell you, well 1st off the sale doesn't include the cartridge, but does include the record weight, all original packaging, instructions and a syringe of Project grease for the baring, the deck itself is quite heavy about 9 to 10kg and utilises a belt driven sub platter with an inverted baring and an MDF platter with an in built vinyl platter mat, the arm is a standard 9" Project metal arm which does a good job but in my opinion would be the only thing on the deck i'd want to change, i spoke to the guys at Henley audio about suitable replacements and they said you can get a 9C Evo arm from them as an upgrade for £395. This particular model has the electronic 33 / 45 speed changer so you don't have to take the deck apart every time you want to play a 45.
I've looked closely and there isn't any marks on the deck anywhere i can see, so down to price, well it owes me £400 so that's what i'd want for it, i'd prefer collection although i can deliver for the cost of the diesel, even though it has it's original box i wouldn't want to post it.
