Great overall cosmetic condition. There are 2 small drill holes on the armboard and 3 o...n the left side of chassis(not effecting functionality). Please view all images to asses condition.
Turntable was powered on, strobe light lit up and motor powered on and turned the platter after an initial lag/slow hesitation - motor then performed well and kept speed at all speeds. Sound was produced with some hum, did not diagnose hum or perform any further testing. The turntable has not been in use for many years, it is recommended to have the motor lubed and turntable looked over.
Due to the overall age of this fine vintage turntable and the above mentioned the turntable is being sold as-is.
Turntable will be packed extra securely to ensure safe shipping
