Visually there are clear signs of use here and there, on both the plastic cabinet and the dust cover
(see the photos!)
The dust cover is clear, but has a few pits
Very good J-shaped tonearm with adjustable stylus pressure and anti-skating (transverse force compensation)
Original Sony headshell with VL-37G MM cartridge with a good ND-137G stylus
Hinges in good condition, the lid stays nicely open as it should
Completely cleaned and lubricated where needed. The speed has been readjusted to factory specifications
Runs very smoothly and steadily, sound quality is fantastic
Equipped with pitch control and a strobe for precise fine-tuning of the speed
A 45 RPM adapter for playing 7" singles is also included
Please view the detailed photos; they are part of the object description
