Just trying to gauge if there is any interest in this here first. I am out of commission for another 2 weeks while recovering from foot surgery, so nothing will happen for at least that long -- in terms of packing, shipping, etc., so just understand that up front.
The details:
A VPI HW-19 Mk II table with the following features:
Walnut base (rare, and in very good condition)
BPI hinged (and removable Acryllic dust cover (again, very good condition for age)
Acryllic plinth with bonded steel plate.
Technics EPA-100 tonearm with Sumiko Magnesium headshell.
This arm is fairly rare and quite special. The arm itself is made of titanium nitride, the bearings (20 in all) ar ruby, it has on-the-fly VTA, and cartridge compliance adjustments.
Also included are the original manual for the arm, a strobe disk, two belts, and an SME/ Van Den Hul phono cable with right angle DIN connector for the base of the arm, and RCAs on the other end.
Pricing:
The last one of these EPA-100 arms I saw sold for $850 or more, and when I listed the table alone locally on Craig's list for $425 I had three solid offers within 15 minutes -- but I chickened out at the last minute.) So, considering the condition of these pieces, the relative scarcity of the walnut base HW-19 and the Technics arm, the price will be $1250, plus any shipping and paypal fees. I don't have the original box, but I will make sure it is packed extremely well -- check my feedback on agon under username "mindset" and you'll see that I take my packing pretty seriously. Of course, a local pickup in the Boulder/Denver area would save you shipping charges and could happen more or less as soon as you want.
Thanks for looking,
Jim
