Here we have a Brinkmann Balance Turntable with the custom HRS base, tube power supply, solid state power supply, heated bearing well upgrade and extra arm pod - all inclusive!  This turntable was very well taken care of by my client and is in outstanding condition.  Speed is dead on - sound is incredible.  Arm pods currently are drilled for Breuer Dynamic tonearms - i believe that the current Brinkmann arms can retro fit - certainly additional arm boards can either be bought from Brinkmann or made from your local machinist.  Shipping will be in a double wall box with a combination of EPE and a sheet styro (that has a skin on either side for toughness) that will insure perfect delivery.  Please email me with any questions you may have about the table! 

Questions for the seller
Thanks for the quick response. If this is one of herr Brinkmann early tt that would make it he tt about 30 years old since he’s been making that table since the 80s Ifcthst old my offer would be less than asking price. Can you help me a bit here with description of the table? Ant issues with bearing at all? Thanks! Bac
No no no, it's not 30 years old!?! This was built around 2004-08 (if my recollection of the vague details the widow relayed to me of when they got the system this is a part of is correct) - the fact that the tube power supply showed up around 2004 confirms the approximation - let's say 2004 as I think that's when he saw it at the CES show and purchased soon after directly from them. Bearing and oil heating mechanism are spot on - no play and dead on speed.
I am very interested in this tt. How old is it? Only one owner? I do not currently have an arm for it.
One owner, this was one of the first that Herr Brinkmann made, which nothing changed. Barely used. As far as tonearms, I can help or suggest something for you.
I need to know if the arm collar is compatible with a new Brinkmann 12.1 or 10 inch arm; since that is what I would go with. If not what would be the additional cost of the arm collar? Also, even tho the cartridge has never been used, how old is the cartridge? I am still very interested in the tt; I know that you stated that speed was spot on; how did you measure this? Just wondering because of the age of the table. thanks! BAC
Judging by the pictures on the Brinkmann site, you would either have to buy a new top section that is pre-drilled or have one made. From Brinkmann, it's an oval shaped piece that over hangs it - it wouldn't be hard to have made if you know the right machinist - sadly, I do, but he'd take too long to make it - I can't suggest it. As it sits, only a standard Breuer Dynamic arm will fit. The Brinkmann 10" is longer than the holes drilled. Speed measured with a 1k tone and the Feickert speed app. Within specs to justify that statement. The table's not that old either to concern yourself with a bad bearing, especially if it was made right in the first place - early 2000's, barely used.
