Acoustic Research AR XA Turntble Free Shipping COUS

For sale is a vintage AR XA turntable. This is an unmodified fully functional original. The dust cover has a crack extending form the center to one corner, however it remains functionally sound. New dust covers can be purchased on E-bay. The tonearm and headshell are in great condition. I have replaced the front AR logo and felt platter pad. The top of the plith has been I also have the original owners manual for the TT (a rare audio collectors item). The base has had a serial number of some sort etched on the back/center, about ½ by 3 inch. It is noticeable if someone looks for it, otherwise not so much. The plith has been painted with what looks like a magic marker which doesn't look bad however a gloss black repainting would be much better. Between the etch and plith, the 6/12 rating. I have shipped several items and know how to pack for shipment. Platter and headshell will be wrapped separately however packed in same double boxed system. List price includes free shipping to COUS, insurance and paypal fee. Interested parties can send me a private message and receive photos via phone. I have difficulty posting photos on AG. I use the ‘make offer’ option for vetting of buyers, I believe my asking price is fair however reasonable offers will be considered.
