Turntables
All turntables serviced and tested for correct operation of all features. Lubricated, adjusted, usually new stylus and belt. They all sound very good with perfect tracking, speed accuracy/stability and quiet motors.

Personal collection from me in Kingsland Auckland only. Safe packing, shipping and long distance support is not practical sorry.

Technics SL-2000 Direct Drive

This blacked out beauty has the dead mass of a big slab of fiberboard inside to eliminate vibration and feedback. Perfectly stable adjustable speed, original headshell with good stylus and bright clean cover complete the package.

Serviced and working like new in near mint, low use condition.

Half the price and twice as good as a modern offering.

Made in Japan 1977

Philips 209 S Electronic Turntable

I bought this as a fun restoration project and had no idea what I was getting myself into. This has more features and automation than I have ever seen.

The sliding cover reveals a range of controls and when closed activates full auto mode. The platter has detectors for 3 disk sizes/speeds, a sprung 45 adaptor and uniquely, starts the turntable when a record is placed - no need to even press a button!

The arm rest has a stylus force gauge and there are green indicators behind the tinted panels.

Fully restored with led conversion on all the lamps, new belts and o rings, new cartridge and stylus. I doubt there is another fully updated example in existence. Ready for a few more decades of enjoyment.

Made in Holland 1978

Thorens TD 160 with SME Arm

Interesting aluminium clad compact plinth that I have never seen before. Factory fitted SME 3009 MK2. Killer combination for performance and sound. Dead silent, rock steady speed (synched to mains) and best ever arm mechanics and geometry.

New dust cover, serviced and working perfectly in very good condition. Grail turntable that I wish I could keep!

Akai AP-005 Vintage Turntable

Well respected full auto model with flush platter and feather touch control. Has a big mains power motor and mechanical speed change. Includes original skeleton style headshell and high quality rca cable.

Serviced and working well in very good condition. I tried a few different belts on this one to get the speed dead on. Synchronous motors are extremely stable but there is no speed trim.
