Authenticity and Technical Status Details:

Original Preserved: The plinth still bears the original factory label with transport instructions (in three languages), a detail that testifies to the manicured care and historical integrity of this piece.
Original RCA Cables: The turntable mounts its original factory cables. As is typical of many vintage components, they may show slight contact sensitivity (solved with rust-removing spray), but they have been kept to preserve the collectible value.
Safe Power Supply: Supplied with a new modern power supply (compatible) to ensure stable voltages and higher electrical safety compared to old vintage transformers.
Cartridge and Stylus: Equipped with ADC QLM 30 MK III cartridge. The stylus is in excellent condition, ready to reproduce your records with a warm and faithful sound.
Electronic Controls: Touch-sensitive buttons perfectly responsive and functioning red status LEDs. Fine speed adjustment via integrated mirror strobe.

Aesthetics and Mechanics:

Dust Cover: Original, exceptionally glossy and clear, with no scratches or cracks.
Mechanics: Extremely clean aluminum platter and sub-platter, free of oxidation. Integral belt and stable speed.

Professional (Armored) Shipping:

The packaging will strictly follow the era's guidelines: counterweight of the tonearm removed, platter removed and protected separately, tonearm locked. I will use anti-shock materials to ensure the turntable arrives at the destination exactly as you see it in the photos.
