Have you been watching the prices on these recently kap'n?Thank you very much gentlemen...I offered 650..let's see if she likes it, if not, it's only $30 more
These vintage TT's can be a real dilemma. I'd say try to find out more about when this was last regularly used, it's history, etc. If this seller is the original owner. How much they know about things related to this, period! (I see that the seller does have 100% feedback so they are doing something right!). Who originally set up cartridge, how old the stylus (needle) is & it's condition, etc. Unless you know for sure the condition of the stylus is excellent, I'd replace it at the very least rather than risk doing permanent damage to your records. (.. since TTs have made a comeback of sorts, you'd be able to find a new cartridge with minimal hassle.) But set-up can be difficult on a linear tracking TT like this since it's different. Hopefully the manual goods into this thoroughly.IIRC you can use a MM or a MC with this TT..
Do you think THIS is a good offer?
I see it has sold. Did you get it Kap'n?
Sounds like another exciting adventure for the Kap'n, I've read they can be great when set up and operating properly, but also a little finicky (technical term.)I'm afraid I did...
I have not heard back from the seller, which worries me, though...
Oh, hell yeah...ever since I moved to Denver in Dec 2017 my life has been one interesting adventure...(it was also when I moved to Madrid in Jan 1991 but that's another Millennia!!!)Sounds like another exciting adventure for the Kap'n, I've read they can be great when set up and operating properly, but also a little finicky (technical term.)

The seller stated that there are two headshells..hmmmThe PX is a med mass tonearm, I tried a Ortofon and didn't care for it, been real happy swapping between a AT VM740ML and a VM760SLC
yes, LPs are akin to a fickle woman lover, you have to give them a LOT OF LOVE...but there ain't anything in this life that gives you back that love... I LOVE WOMEN, especially MY WOMAN...love them unconditionally...Good luck kap'n ! I also love Linear's and ran a Harman Kardon ST-8 for 20+ years without issue. Rebelted it and gave it a complete tune-up before I ripped my lifetime of LP's to 16/44 flacs and then sold out of everything vinyl related. A beautiful TT that I still sometimes miss but have no interest in putting up with all the problems of LP use.
Here's a couple of my ebay for sale pictures
