Technics SP-10 Vintage Turntable with SME-3009

Technics SP10 Turntable with SME3009 

This mode table is so good that Technics decided to re-issue it after 4o years.  The problem is that the new version, model SP10R now costs as much as a car. 

There are countless modifications and upgrades available including super expensive and heave stone plinths.  

This table is all original and has been well cared for.  The wood plinth is absolutely gorgeous and has aged into a nice vintage patina.  Its in remarkable condition without a single scratch or mark. 

The arm is my all time favorite arm the SME 3009.  Strong, capable and super adjustable, the 3009 is considered the best all around vintage arm from that era.  Its the model with the removable head shell and improved counter weight.  

There is no cartridge included but we can fit it a the following options which will include calibration (about a 2hr detailed process of perfectly setting an calibrating many parameters to ensure highest performance). \\\

   1. New ClearAudio Concept $250 (Currently Installed)

1. New Sumiko BluePoint #2 $449


2. New Sumiko BluePoint special Evo 3 $549


3. New ClearAudio Virtuoso V2 Ebony $899 


4. New Sumiko Blackbird MC $1249


5. Grado Black 2 $75


6. Grado Prestige Gold $259

To purchase any of these just send an offer for the asking price of the table PLUS the cartridge cost above.  It will take about a week to process and install. 

There is also a cleaning arm installed that can be used to clear the record just ahead of the needle.  Pretty cool addition but can easily be removed if its not your thing.  

Condition is near perfect all around.  Just look at the pictures.   I have never seen a cleaner version of this original table.  Functionally it is also perfect,  It tracks and adjust with precision and  speed.  Platter reaches 33rpm almost immediately and locks right in place.  the strobe is bright and strong. 

The item will be professionally packaged and insured for safe transit to your home. 

Available for pickup in Ridgewood, NJ or Union Square NYC.

WHO WE ARE 

Skyfi.nyc is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning and reselling of select high end audio equipment.  We only buy equipment the we admire and are passionate about.  No mid-fi, no gimmicks and no junk.  

Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the Hifi world.  If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold.  We are select about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American and European built units.

Through our sister company, which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Project and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts and service support.  If you are local and are looking for any new equipment for the above mentioned manufacturers, please drop us a line as we can arrange both sales and professional installation in the tri-state area

PURCHASING GUIDELINES

If you would like to make an offer, please don't email or message us unless you are looking to trade something in.  

If we are accepting offers, you will see a button on the listing page to do so.  Please use it, as it is very hard to track offers through email or messaging.  This way, we are all also better protected.   If you don’t see a “offer” button its because we are not taking offers on this item.  Please don’t bother to make one.  

PAYMENTS

We prefer working through PayPal, which allows you to use a credit card or bank transfer.  We do not charge extra for any payment fees.  You can also send us a personal check (which will need to clear before shipping), certified check, money order or wire transfer.  International clients without access to PayPal should use a bank wire transfer. 

If you are picking up an item, we don not accept PayPal, you must pay in person with cash, certified or bank check or wire transfer.  If you make a PayPal payment it will be returned. 

TRADE IN POLICY 

We accept trade-ins of equal or lesser value under certain conditions.  Simply ask and let us know the exact model, condition and what accessories are included such as a box, remote, manual, etc.  We will only consider high-end equipment from mainstream manufacturers such as McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Krell, etc. and will typically pass on displays, projectors, receivers, dated processors and mid-fi equipment of any type.  We will offer a fair value for your equipment, but keep in mind we are running a business and will need to be able to sell the equipment at a profit after investing a great deal of time and resources in testing, certifying, repairing, cleaning and packaging the incoming equipment.  If you are looking for top dollar we suggest attempting to sell it directly to an end user.  

SELL US YOUR GEAR (Working or Broken)

We will also purchase your used or broken gear and arrange pickup if you are in our local market.  Just drop us a note for a quote, but be sure to include the condition and what is included.  

HOW TO VISIT US

We are currently operating from a residence in Ridgewood, NJ.  You are welcome to make an appointment if there is a piece of equipment you would like to see in operation before or after purchase.  We have a well-equipped, dedicated listening room with tons of equipment of all makes and models.  We are not a store, so please don’t make an appointment if you are just curious as to how a speaker or piece of equipment sounds.  In essence, no tire kickers please.  

If you are in NYC and cannot make it out to Ridgewood, we can arrange pickup in Union Square (14th Street) after the purchase.   You can call or text  (646) 852-2073 with any questions or to schedule an appointment.  We can also arrange to install, calibrate and tune the gear in your listening room if you are in the local area.  This is super useful when purchasing large speakers or heavy amplifiers.  It is also great for ensuring your new turntable is setup correctly in its final resting place.  

Thanks for looking and please send us your email address if you would like to receive a list of the equipment we receive from time to time.  We promise not to bombard you with junk email.
