Win Laboratories SDC-10

For sale is a vintage, ultra rare SDC-10 Reference Turntable manufactured by Win Laboratories, and designed by Dr. Sao Win. 

This turntable is a rare, high-end home audio collectors item, I believe it to be from the mid 1990s. The turntable comes with the chassis, plinth, platter, shock mounts, feet, SDA-10 Servo Dynamic Tonearm, wooden tonearm box, motor, control unit, adjustment tools, cartridge hardware, and lid. I also have the original wooden shipping crate, if buyer is interested.

The unit is missing a belt and cartridge, however the motor functions properly at both speeds (33 and 45) and the platter rotates freely and evenly when in place. Please see the following videos for reference:

There is some light oxidization the metal accent pieces (I believe this can be removed with a proper cleaning agent), as well as some scuff marks on the platter. The lucite has slight smudges and could stand to be cleaned with some lucite cleaner. The unit was stored for many years and some of the original soft foam it was stored in deteriorated, which left these smudges. Overall, the turntable is in excellent condition both operationally and cosmetically. I cannot fully test it, as I do not have a belt, cartridge, or DIN-to-rca adapter cable to test it with, but everything does appear to function properly mechanically!

Please feel free to contact me with any and all questions, as well as for additional photographs of any part if desired. I would love to see this amazing, custom made turntable be fully up and running in the hands of a deserving, passionate collector! Asking $3,500 OBO! Obviously a local pickup would be preferred, but I can arrange for shipping in it's original wooden shipping crate if desired.  Thanks for looking!
