Brinkmann Audio Oasis Turntable with 10.5 Tonearm

For sale is a Brinkmann Oasis Direct Drive Turntable in maple finish with Brinkmann 10.5 Tonearm and Shelter 901 mk1 cartridge. In addition to the stock record clamp, I will include an HRS Harmonic Resolution Systems Clamp (which I prefer to the Brinkmann), a $250 value. I will also include a custom dust cover that I've used with it since the beginning. I've had this turntable since 2014 and it has been flawless with never an issue. I've conservatively rated it an 8 due to age, but I can't find any significant visual flaws outside of normal usage. Because of size and weight, I'm selling this local pick up only. If you have a white glove door to door service you would like to use that would be acceptable, but I will not pack and ship this. You are welcome to come down and hear the table before buying. I can also deliver this to certain parts of California for a fee. Overview A belt driven turntable platter can be a source of electromechanical distortion. Experiments with various turntable platter diameters, materials and strings and belts showed, that the removal of a turntable platter belt can lessen audible playback distortion. The Brinkmann OASIS turntable platter is thus motor driven directly. A circular magnet, built into the platter bearing, is driven by four exactly controlled magnetic fields which create four precise to phase angle aligned air coils. The speed is constantly checked by precision-echo-sensors to keep the platter at the proper (33.333 and 45 rpm) speed. Alignment of constant-drive-fluctuations is avoided. Constant-drive-fluctuations and speed variations are effectively prevented by having a precise machined and calibrated bearing and spindle which is borrowed from larger Brinkmann turntables.
