The turntable is in beautiful condition (gave 8/10 to be conservative). Tonearm shows some light scuffing from the rest. [This is always the case. VPI should felt line the tonearm rest.] Piano Black Glossy finish shows some light swirls as does the Gingko Dust Cover. Panel Magic (VPI recommends) will remove plinth swirls (if you can find them) and paste (not Gel) toothpaste will do the same for the dust cover. {Ask Vin at Gingko for more advice.) I really do not see any dustcover marks. Use ammonia-free Glass Plus for general cleaning of both TT & Dustcover.
