Lovely TT this, only selling as I've bought a TD126 (not even got it yet but not got room for 2 TTs hence this must go).

Condition is very good for its age, a few little marks on the original black plinth and lid but otherwise in good condition, as is the arm. I could touch up the plinth but want to leave it in original condition for the next owner.

Arm has the removable headshell but no cartridge is fitted. I can stick one on for a demo. Actually I don't have a phono stage here (it's oop north) so you'll have to bring your own, sorry.

Collection only from North London, I'm not far from the North circular, M25, A1 and A10.

Looking for £395 which I think is fair given the price SMEs are going for these days.

Forgot to mention the rider weight plunger and spring had been removed by the original owner and I don't have it (an anti vibration mod apparently?) but it has functioned perfectly without it.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220210/d15102c9d8b8d31a9dcdf7f273f6dec2.jpg

Great turntable Lawrence and was indeed my first serious turntable.

Thanks James it is indeed a nice combo, and endgame for me until I saw the 126 Mk4 that I'd been thinking about since I sold one nearly 10 years ago

A few sniffs but nothing concrete yet. Still looking for the right home.

That does look good, suitable for a wide range of cartridges too. Lovely condition and very reasonable price.
