Happy holidays,

I live overseas most of the year, and I scooped up what was to be a backup table, or 2nd system table. Problem is, I don't even have a home yet, nor a 2nd system. This was to be the 1st piece, but I'm going to hold off and just focus on setting up my Lenco here.

I'm asking $2000 shipped CONUS for Technics 1200 MKII with an Audiomods Classic tonearm, and the unit has some RoyaLcraft mods and external PSU and matching semi-gloss maple wood case for PSU and 1200.

The mods include:

    3 Point Tonearm Isolation System
    Wood-In Platter
    Compound Loaded Deck
    Aluminum Thrust Plate
    Separated Power Supply
    Re-brushed platter (aesthetic)
    White LED
    External psu wood case semi-gloss (maple) (with matching Technics feet)
    Hardwood case semi-gloss (maple)
    1200 bonded to wood case - stock feet moved under case

Audiomods Classic details:

Tonearm is Audiomods Classic. This one has the polished finish, with brass finish counterweight and stub. No micrometer. This one also has a Series V Cardas 5-pin connector, Series IV bearings, silver internal wire, full set of headshell shims, and a transferable warranty from Audiomods. All extra parts included, manual, wooden case, etc.

You'll have to provide your own RCA > DIN cable and a cart, unless you want a sealed AT33PTG for +$500.

I don't have pics yet as Roy is working on the table. Please PM if interested. Tempted to keep this little giant-killer but like I said, I have my hands full with Lenco and Audiomods V. I have feedback on Audiogon and eBay if you want to contact me through those systems for piece of mind.

Those Audiomods are great arms.

Please let me know if you are interested, as a cart can be bought and mounted for you by Roy and shipped ready top play. It also has a brand new bearing going in.  Original has a badly bent thrust plate, usually these can be straightened out but this one is beyond repair. The thrust bearing is also shown. It has a small round Teflon pad, when these are new they are flat, after many years of proper use they will show a small dimple from normal wear.

Other options include dust cover, rubber mat, and Technics feet mounted to underside of new wood chassis. The old ones are on the PSU, and I think I'm going to buy some to be mounted on the chassis anyway. I think they are M6 so you could add something like spikes or Isonoe footers later.

I'll have pics when it's ready on Saturday. Color is off a bit no doubt, better pics to come. He made a custom wood tonearm mount:

doctorcilantro,
Thousands and thousands own the Technics 1200 including me.  Some have the KAB mods to improve the stock turntable.  In your experience do the Roy L Craftmods improve the stock Technics turntable?  Do not comment about the Roy L Craft mods unless you have listened to them.

It's the worst table I have ever heard... 

There are aftermarket platters and mounting plates for a reason. Roy's dampening makes a big difference with regard to rumble and provides a blacker background. The wooden arm mount provides for better tone and overall sound quality, no metal ring like the metal plate alone.
