FS: Systemdek IIX w/Sumiko arm
« on: 22 Sep 2009, 09:51 am »
This is a nice example of the spring suspension, belt driven TT.  It comes with a Sumiko arm and a Grado cartridge.  Needs a new needle if desired (bent).  It still has it's stock glass platter and lambs wool mat.  It runs well.  Has a few hairline scratches.  In great condition. Does not come with a dustcover.

$300 OBO.  Sold

PM me with questions.

Well, the system won't let me send a PM right now for some reason.  Can you give me a little more detail regarding which model the arm aand cartridge are?  Also, if you have any more pics, please forward through PM.

Thanks,

Tom

Grado sig. 8 if I'm not mistaken? Good cart. I had several. Grado will probably be able to retip this and someone will have a very nice intro tt. for a very good price. The cart. alone was 250 in its day. The arm is the equivalent of a Rega 250 in quality. There are any number of simple tweaks to enhance this kind of deck. Nice rug in the back....sorry to butt in.

Okay, please quote for freight to Germany - I'll give it a good home. I take it she's still for sale? PM if you like. I take it, the MMT hasn't been 'siliconed' as is a damping option to it. If not, and if you like, its mine!

even if the arm has been "siliconed", if you don't like it, you can remove it easily enough.  yust like on the ft-3 arm.

Thanks Doug, wasn't aware. Excellent. I owned the MMT when it came out 25-odd years ago. Hope I get this one and the cartridge would be a first-timer for me with Grado. Have a place in England that would re-tip it.

go here, register, and you can download the set-up instructions for this arm; it also explains the silicone damping:
