Refresh my memory on its particulars?   Which model was it, what was right with it, and what was wrong with it?

Ken,

It's a 4002, I got if from the original owner. It has the MMC20EN cartridge, and new belts. I just don't care for the sound in spite of it's wonderful engineering and beautiful design.  :)

Well the B&O cartridges from the 1970's definitely are a vintage sound.  The bass end and the top end are a bit soft, but pleasant sounding, and I'ld prefer something be missing from the sound, rather than something added to the sound.  Example, there is no output per se from the Bozak tweeter above 12 kHz, but I prefer that over a screechy raspy tweeter that goes out to 30 kHz flat any day.  What do you want for it?

We should probably take this to a PM, I'm not sure if they frown on pricing for used items being discussed in the open forum.  :?
