Marantz TT-151 CLEARAUDIO VIRTUOSO MM EBONY WOOD CARTRIDGE

This is TT-15S1model.  I can’t change the listing title for some reason.   Carton photo added 5/15.  The cartridge is a Clearaudio Virtuoso.  The current "v2" version of this model goes for around $900.  


From Marantz site:   "...The included phono cartridge is the top-class Clearaudio Virtuoso MM model which features an ebony wood body that resists resonances along with a specially polished diamond stylus, lightweight aluminum cantilever and highly effective cartridge damping."

Original owner,  purchased new a few years ago from Audio Den on Long Island.  
  
Essentially this is a ClearAudio manufactured turntable badged with a Marantz label.  The cartridge alone is worth my price according to the gent who sold it to me - and I have no reason not to take him at his word.  I've bought a fair amount of stuff from them and they've always been A+ with me.    
  
Very little,  ad I do mean very little use over the years.  (2-3?)  Sounded great when I had a BAT preamp,  and even still with my current - also for sale - Modwright KWi-200 integrated with factory phono stage built in.  If your integrated or preamp does not have a phono stage,  you'll need one to use this. 

This does not have a dustcover.  I don't think there's one available,  either.  Belt drive.  Simple.  [5/15]  I just received a message from a fellow member here with 100% positive feedback who DOES have a dustcover for this model.  Never knew that.  Obviously that's an entirely separate transaction from this and is in no way connected.
 
Original box,  manual,  cartridge.  I'll include the Moo-mat,  record clamp,  and if you don't have a phono stage I'll toss a cheap ProJect one in the sale. 
 
I listen mostly through my server/streamer so this has gotten very little use since purchase.  It's as mint as you'll find. 
 
I am reluctant to ship since I've never before shipped a turntable.  I very much prefer a local pickup or meet in order not to risk damage to the stylus/cartridge.  If you live within a reasonable distance of 11755 arrangements can be discussed.  If I MUST ship and insure you the buyer pays that additionally.  I will charge only what I am charged.  PayPal fee is absorbed by me. 
  
I am a 100% positive feedback member here,  and I won't entertain inquiries from any party without the same.  Lowballers need not bother. 
 
Thanks for looking.
