I have a love/hate relationship with turntables. I always feel like I need one, but, when I have one, I never need one. Or should I say when I have one, I never really use it. So, here's my Sota Sapphire III looking for a good home with an owner that'll treat it well.
This is a mark III version and comes with the power supply, two armboards, new belt (uninstalled), and a Sota I-Clamp. One armboard is cut for an Sumiko MMT and the other is a blank.
The only issues I can find are on the dust cover. Aside from the normal, light surface scratches from cleaning, there are a couple "cracks" in the back left corner. I say "cracks" because you can't really feel them with your fingernail, but they're visible upon very close inspection. There's also a scratch in the same corner. The flash in the photos makes them look much worse than they really are. Being a darker dust cover, they are really only visible if you know where to look and have your nose right in front of them.
The arm in the last pic is a Micro Seiki TA-1 (same as Luxman TA-1) with an Accutex LPM 320 cart. It can be bought with the TT for an additional $200. I've never mounted this arm or tested the cartridge, so it is sold as-is.
I have the original box for shipping, but I'd much prefer a local sale in the greater Pittsburgh/Cleveland/Erie/Buffalo area. I will ship, but it'll take me some time to get it packaged for safe transport.
Price: $700 for TT, $900 for TT and TA-1/LPM 320 + Shipping
Payment: PayPal + 3% or FF, Money Order, Cashier Check, etc.
Location: Franklin, PA
Shipping: FedEx, buyer pays actual cost
