I am selling my used Roksan Radius 5 turntable with Nima tonearm.  Here are the details:
1. Tonearm has an attempted rewire by a friend.  The gauge of the ground wire is too thick (see photo).  He also lost the allen screw that fastens the arm to the table.  From eyeballing it, I think it needs a male threaded/female hex head ~1.5-2mm screw, but I don't know. 
2. The tonearm wire is silver/litz with professionally soldered leads. 
3. The motor works great. Like many Regas, it has that slight nanosecond friction noise upon startup, yet that is normal. 
4.  There are some scratches (pointed out with tweezers) on the motor cover housing.  They are super apparent in the photos but not so much in person.  I never cared enough to touch up the black paint.  
5.  There are two (2) brand new white belts included (shown in the photo).  
6.  Included is a brand new Signal Cable Silver Ref Phono cable Din to RCA phono hookup wire. This is pictured too. Also included is the original Roksan black Din to RCA out phono hookup.  The Signal cable is not cheap and never used. I just have no use for it as my new table is RCA to RCA.  
7.  Included (and pictured) are three (3) Herbie's Audiolab disc feet that can be place right underneath the chrome pointed feet.  They have small indentations for the existing feet to sit right into.  They are mint. 
8.  The silly Roksan stylus tracking force gauge is included and pictured too. 
9.  The original Roksan Corus cartridge is on the headshell, but the stylus is gone.  I played the stylus til it got so fragile that it snapped off during a cleaning with Onzow.  [Oddly enough, it still sounded great].  The cartridge is likely fine but there is no operable stylus.  
Overall, the body is in good shape.  I only cleaned it with acrylic cleaner (the 2-3 step process kind).  It is NOT flawless.  Taking pictures of acrylic is tough.  It does, however, look nice and it is very presentable.  
Cosmetically and motor wise I'd rate this guy at a 7.  But given the Nima arm needs work I'm scoring the whole kit as a 5.  I'll accept a return on the motor, platter, etc. not working--because they work flawlessly.  The sale of the Nima arm is as-is.  
My asking price gets you Fedex ground shipping and professional packing.  I really wanted to get the tonearm running again, but it's not necessary as my wife got me a Technics SL 1200 GAE.  So I never called Britaudio in North Carolina to see if he could rewire the arm.  
Final note, I don't know if the arm actually needs a new ground wire. It may work just fine but I cannot tell with that missing allen screw to tighten the arm firm.
