THORENS TD125 MKII TURNTABLE + SME 3009 HI END TONEARM SHURE V15 TYPE III CART.

Description: Although this is being sold on an "AS IS" basis without return privilege I will show the results of extensive testing by an Electronic Technician. These results are for your reference only and are in no way any sort of warranty. Our observations:When switching from one speed to any other speed, the strobe is rock solid steady with NO movementThe variable speed knob works perfectly and is centered as it should beThe original neon strobe illumination lamp had failed and was replaced with a small LED and related components. This modification makes seeing the strobe VERY easy to observe. It is substantially BRIGHTER than the original neon lamp. Any points that required lubrication have been cleaned and re-lubricated with the very best synthetic lubricantThe original drive belt is included along with a never used drive belt. The two belt guides have been adjusted to perfection and sealed. The black disk mat shows zero wearThe stylus has been examined on an old 1970's Stereo Shop microscope and shows zero wearThis turntable/tonearm combo was never sold to an end used. It was used as a demo in a HiFi sales shop in 1986. It has been in storage 45. The 45 RPM adapter is the original Thorens solid aluminum adapter.Both the turntable and the tonearm will be shipped DOUBLE BOXED for safety. Both inner boxes are the original factory cartons. Both inner cartons do show wearBuyer agrees to pay my exact cost to ship the second parcel containing the SME tonearm. This ebay listing tool does not give the Seller the opportunity to bill for two separate cartons for one item. Shipping charge is ONLY for the turntable. The tonearm is a carton weighing 3 pounds and measuring 19 x 9 x 8 inches. The Shure SME model tonearm model 3009 comes with several tools to aid in performing a perfect installation. These tools include the two sizes of Allen Wrenches and cardboard gauges.NOTE: This SME tonearm does not have a removable cartridge shell. It was designed this way.OVERSEAS SHIPPING: I ship ONLY to U.S.A. addresses in the lower 48 states.For safety I have removed the tonearm. It will be shipped double boxed.Important note: The supplied Shure V15 type III cartridge has the optional VN35HE HYPER ELIPTICAL STYLUS. I read reviews on this stylus and it is the obvious favorite of many. There are claims that proper tracking at high levels is significantly improved with this stylus.SHIPPING COST NOTE: The shipping cost shown is NOT correct. ebay does not allow inclusion of insurance charges. I will never ship any item that is not fully insured. Buyer agrees to pay actual cost for insurance and also for the separate carton containing the SME tonearm.Buyer agrees to send me an ebay message indicating that he has read this listing completely and that he agrees with all terms listed. I will not complete this sale until I receive this message from the Buyer. I do this so that there are no problems and that the sale is satisfying to seller and buyer. In case of damage in transit, Buyer also agrees to retain ALL packaging material for possible inspection by Fedex or UPS. This is until you determine that no damage has occurred in transit. I do not accept returns. I do not give refunds. I let my reputation speak for itself.
