Recently rebuilt by Roksan with new sub, top and bottom plinths, suspension blobs, plus various other parts. Bearing was checked and deemed in fine condition, so close to a new deck, and certainly looking that way.
It comes with the Sara unipivot arm, fitted with an AT-OC9XML which has only a small number of hours on it. Obviously a lower overall price if you don’t want the cart as I’d happily redeploy it.
It also comes with Roksan Caspian power supply/speed controller which I’ve also had upgraded to include the MM/MC phono stage.
I think that would work out at over £8k new - and this example is close to just that.
The Sara arm was bought by the previous owner around 3 years ago and fitted with a new arm-board to the deck.
The rebuild was due to the new arm-board not quite aligning perfectly. I’m told they changed something in recent years making older decks not perfectly compatible with newer pieces. It worked perfectly but it got to the OCD in me, hence me getting it rebuilt as an almost new deck. I asked them to replace the bearing if at all worn, but it was given a clean bill of health, so it, the motor, the (very clean) platter and lid are the only parts remaining from original.
I had the Caspian upgraded to have the MM/MC stage fitted and the power supply replaced for good measure, so again that’s mostly all new too.
I have all the original packaging for both the 20+ TT and the Caspian PS/phono. I’m happy for it to be collected from Worthing or I could help with delivery depending on where you are. I also work in Bracknell which gives further options.
Reduced from previous classified, I’m after £2999 without the cart, or £3300 with the cart.
