Sota Star Sapphire w/ JVC Tonearm, Shure Cartridge and $1100 in upgrades.

Please check my other ads for amazing gear.
Here is a complete working series II SOTA STAR/SAPPHIRE vacuum turntable. My friend was the original owner and in 11/13 sent it to Sota for a new supermat w/lip, bearing, series V springs, drive belt and vacuum hose. He went digital and this hardly got played after the upgrades. I also recently bought a new belt for it. I was so taken aback with how great this table sounded with a SAEC tonearm and a Jeff Rowland Complement that I even went further and bought an upgraded series V Star in african rosewood and placed the arm and cartridge on that. These tables are a bargain for the price and the sound way kicks out of its league not to mention the amazing support and class of the staff at Sota.
The set up is running and available for demo. Setup includes, table, vacuum, JVC 5045 tonearm with a Shure (don't know what model) vintage cartridge.I am willing to sell the table without the tonearm and cartridge if you wish. For the price I do not know of a better sounding table and I have had over 50 tables in the last 25 years of my audio addiction. Liquidating amazing gear and settling down to one system now.  The plexi cover has been cracked and reinforced at the back.
