Prices vary on condition and parts needed.

A note about on line auction sites
While these can be a great source for purchasing a used turntable, you never really know what you are getting until it arrives. You may be lucky and the deck is in good usable condition, or it may have been stored for many years and will require at least a basic service.
Vinyl replay should at the very least compete with digital formats but with the right equipment and setup, should completely run rings around a CD player. That does not mean expensive, serious performance can be achieved with even modest equipment so long as the the budget is spent in the right places.
Please feel free to email us with any questions or queries you may have and we will get back to you asap.
Also, please take some time to look at the LINKS section for other products and info.
We will not encourage pointless or expensive so called 'upgrades' if unnecessary. We pride ourselves on honest advice.
