    Well it's got a way to go yet No way will i be bidding, i have no use for it It's the same kind of design as my ARC MP1 which i also grabbed off of fleabay, ex dem with warranty & not a mark on it, boxed with instructions & remote etc. Chuffed to bits that i got it well under half new price

    If that Ref 3 doesn't hit £2000 i'll be shocked, but it's a buyers market right now until we crawl out of this recession

    Tbh i have no idea, is it me or does the dust dome on one of the pics (possibly the first) look as though it has a good chunk missing on the left hand side?

    This Sony PS 8750 turn table looks the business. The looks are superb, but the price is going up at an alarming rate.

    Also found this gorgeous Yamaha XP D8 on German ebay.

    I had the 6750, which is a great deck. Gave it to my brother last year. The 8750 is a legend in the Sony turntable range. Quite surprised to see one on eBay.

    One of the only decks that "communicated" like an LP12/Grace 707 of the late 70's, the 8750, and better than the Techies of the period as I remember. I think we only sold a couple, so the rarity in the UK may be one reason why it fetches so much.
    I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
    I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

    The strange thing is that the 8750 shares a major defect with the 6750, and that is the design of the arm lift. It operates on a galvanized bar assembly that is pivoted in a few places. It is prone to vibration at times, which I could detect in the playback. I removed mine.
    I wonder if it still has all the tools in the secret compartment.

    It is a very sparsely detailed auction, isn't it? I'd be very wary of bidding on something with virtually no description and a crap photo, site unseen... Maybe a few questions to the seller would be in order before anyone takes a punt - hasn't stopped 6 bidders so far though!

    If it was the later Sony TTS-8000 I would have taken a punt.
