Classic turntable that has been modded and completely upgraded. This
started with an original AR-XA turntable. It has been completely
restored and modded for the best sound from Dave at Cryo-Parts.com. New motor and belt. The platter has been cryo-treated and variable
damping added.
Accutrack arc protector specially designed for this tonearm turntable configuration is also included.
The
plinth has been wrapped in solid 3/8" walnut with a satin finish. Slate
damping has been added to the inside of the plinth and new arm board
made for the Jelco SA-250 tonearm. The platter has been polished and the
top has been refinished in a hammered paint. A new bottom cover is
installed with vibration isolation feet.
The Jelco SA-250 tonearm
comes with two weights (both the standard, and heavy counterweight,
normally a $95 extra). The Jelco tonearm has a new DIN to RCA cable from
Pro-ject.
Note: Gem Dandy dust cover, turntable mat and cartridge pictured are not included.
There
are some marks on the turntable's plinth and some marks on the Jelco arm height adjustment tube from using different cartridges and adjusting the VTA. The way the Jelco works is that you adjust the tube up and down and then tighten a bolt, which clamps the tube. I’ve run a couple of different cartridges on this table, which necessitated bring the arm tube up and down. As a result, there are some slight clamping marks on the tube, where the bolt clamps. It’s not visible, but it is something to note.
For shipping this will be carefully packed and will require setup when
the new owner receives it. I will remove the tonearm and pack it in its
shipping box. I will drain the oil and include a small vial of
replacement oil. The suspension will need to be re-tuned for the new
owner. Happy to answer any questions on this you might have.
Questions for the seller |
|---|
| Have you used the turntable yourself? And what cart did you use? Also how did it sound? Yes, I did use the table myself. It sounded great. I used both an AT 440MLa and Ortofon Blue MC. The AT was with the lighter counterweight and the Ortofon, the heavier. It is a very musical sounding turntable rich in midbass warmth and plenty of PRaT. |
| One more question - once its shipped how envoled is it to reset up the tonearm? Three screws to mount the plate, mounting the counterweight, mounting and aligning the cartridge, adjusting the arm pillar to set the VTA, adjusting the antiskating and adjusting the height of the cueing lever. None of it is hard, but the tonearm will need to be packed in its shipping box so it arrives safely. You'll also need to plug in the DIN cable and attach it to the chassis via a screw (easy). |
