SME 20/3A Turntable w/ SME V Tonearm

UPDATE: Asking Price lowered by $1000. Need to sell soon.
UPDATE: Added pictures to show abrasion on platter surface.
I bought this turntable in November 2014 from a fellow Audiogoner who bought it new in April 2014. He claimed he put it in his rack but never used it. After I received it I would have to say he was right. There was an abrasion on the top of the platter that could have happened in transit but it seemed to be cosmetic only so I wasn't concerned. Besides, it was hidden by a platter mat or LP. I rated it 8/10 to be conservative.

I have used it sparingly in the time I've had it which is the reason for the sale. I'm downgrading to something more modest and hoping to use the extra funds elsewhere in my system. The sale includes the turntable and tonearm only. THE CARTRIDGE IS NOT INCLUDED. I was having trouble taking pictures so I included pictures from the previous owner which are virtually the same. The current pictures are the ones on the wooden rack.

The turntable will ship in the original box and packing materials along with the manual and setup accessories. The tonearm will be removed and packed in its own box with the turntable. I also have a clear acrylic lid that fits this turntable if you're interested. It would ship separately.

The freight covers FedEx Ground insured to lower 48. I will cover Paypal fees. Thank you.
