Trio/Kenwood L07D turntable

[Tony L]

A truly legendary thing, but a bit tatty and ‘untested’, and not necessarily priced accordingly: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/27579368...d=link&campid=5338728743&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Twisted arm looks dodgy

Mmmm, quite a beasty...

Fitted with a Decca London moving iron pickup.

Not a, "Decca Gold" but summit similar.

I have a Decca London Grey, it sounds pretty nice
and reproduces transient attacks and percussion
very realistically and convincing, hear those rivets
shimmering on them crash cymbals.

You'd hope the headshell just isn't inserted properly but could well be it's had a knock...

I'm not sure I'd want to drop £3k on an untested sold-as-seen 40 year old Japanese direct drive superdeck...

Quite like the Lux C12/M12 the same seller has.

The PSU looks tatty, given the high price. It’s a no-no.

Lots of electrical parts in thereto fail.

front right leveller is missing as well

Been dropped ?

For that money it would need to be mint and 100% working, too much wrong about it to even buy it for spares.

No psu cable? funny that everything else is pretty much there but then again that makes it 'easier' to sell as untested.

EDIT: The psu umbilical IS there so why has he not switched it on?

Considering these were selling 100% working and good condition 2 or 3 year ago for £2000+/-that is an outrageous asking price for a potentially fecked one.

2nd Class postage helps keep the cost down

Ebay is full of absolute comedians.

SOLD

Buyer maybe knew the deck, I didn't even get a reply to my offer

I only offered £300

I've also given up looking for one, there's better out there and safer to buy too

 

[chartz]

You got it?

 

[mikeyb]

You got it?

For some reason no , but there were 2 other offers in before mine, I probably lost out to £305 or thereabouts

You would spend your life looking for the missing parts.

Yup, that's another reason I gave up on one
