Black oak with dustcover and Vibrapods for feet (Vibrapod "doubles" available). Slight scuff, small, on edge of platter, cosmetic only. Missing two of the original three knurled nuts for the motor cover (most people remove the motor cover). New decorative nuts can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes. Comes with the basic VPI two-piece record clamp. Extra belt included.
Base and plinth are clean, no scratches except for some light surface scratches on the acrylic plinth (looks like polish marks).
Dustcover is clean, just a few light surface scratches. No cracks. It's the original dustcover.
Arm has Sumiko Analog Survival Kit arm wrap. Bearings in excellent condition. VTA functional, arm post does not seem dimpled. Very good arm for MC carts. Arm manufactured by Jelco was top tier in its day. I have used an AT-OC9 and a Lyra Clavis da Capo with really good results (not included).
I have an older Audioquest MC-5 High Output moving coil cartridge I could throw in to sweeten the deal. Can't remember ever using it but can't claim it as new. Not really part of the deal, but it's there if it's needed.
Table is operationally fully functional and in very good cosmetic condition.
This HW-19 III has been an excellent performer for me, but I have too many turntables and need to thin the herd. I am the second owner of this unit.
Asking $750.00.
Cash or certified check only only (no personal checks, no paypal, no credit cards), local pickup or delivery strongly suggested (or I will deliver within 400 miles for a very small fee if prepaid). I would have to order all the shipping boxes from VPI ($$$) so the request for local only.
Location Fairview Heights, IL
Pictures later.

Thank you for your attention,
