Ive had an itch for a while regarding these beautiful turntables and today it was scratched!
My biggest concern was if it was a sideways move from my Pioneer PLC-590,a few questions asked to 'those in the know' confirmed it was a step up so the Calamine lotion was slung in the bin and off i went to ipswich to buy it
This 1 owner from new, UK model, had been on gumtree for a while and looked very dusty in the sellers photo's which did put me off a little. the seller did confirm it was only dust so after i got back home i set about giving it a good clean.
Its come up a treat!
The platter is damped as standard,a nice touch.
Platter edge and controls shinning like new!
Original Sony oil filled matt is in great condition.
The plinth weighs a ton and is in top nick too.
A good clean reveals a mint dust cover.
A PMAT-1010 tonearm will be fitted soon so ive got time to make a panzerholz board for it.
