Please see detailed photographs attached for the actual condition of this turntable. As they form part of the description and therefore the sale.
Please note that I have included a brand new stylus EPS 207c with only the testing time for your complete enjoyment.
There are 2 minor issues, the plastic lid hinges have been glued to the hinges. A common repair for the lid it does not affect playback at all. The second is the auto return does not always engage. It may need a deep clean inside... it does not affect playback at all.
