My brother bought this last year and never used it, he's using my old luxman instead. He asked me to sell this for him. It is a Pro-ject Debut III turntable. Ortofon OM5E moving magnet cartridge. Black in color. Hinged dust cover included. Not a scratch on it. I setup the anti-skating weight, aligned the cartridge and played a few records through it, otherwise it is brand new. He payed $369 on line. First $200 gets it.

My friend is looking for a solid TT.
Let me send him a message.
-
Looks like a good deal.
TTs have taken on a new role these days as people rebel at the digital sound.
TTs used to just play records.
These days they have apparently been transformed into musical instruments.
If you have a decent system, a decent TT can be a good buy, and the value is headed up for resale.
A good TT needs good equipment or it is money wasted.
I have an old Pioneer with a Shure Cart that sounds incredible - it is not for sale as I need it to play my not so perfect records.
I have a better one for other records. Top end carts go for 20K. You might not need that, but don't buy a TT until you consider it into the price. A good buy might be one the previous owner has already worked that out for you. The cart in a used table means just as much as the table.
I use my two most days.
I also have a lot of Lps.
If any of the above is you or not you, adjust your TT purchase accordingly.
There are bargains to be had on both ends.
Factor this in ---
When you get everything perfect and invite your honey over --
Just when you are in the sack and making your move, it will be time to jump up and turn the record over -- ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sure used to make a product called a Saftey Raiser. It attached to the table and when the tonearm started into the run out grove, it hit the raiser, tripping a hydralic piston that lifted the arm/cart off the record. No need to interrupt your move. I wish I could find another one, or anything like it. They were about $15 in the '70's

Nice table at a great price!! :o

I once did an A-B comparison between having sex and listening to a good record on my best stereo.
The stereo was just slightly better than having sex.

That's what Bunni said..........

Philosophy, nostalgia and Anders/Bunnie's sex life taken into account, if no one is interested I'm going to put it on eturd.

If I remember correctly the Project turntables were imported by Sumiko and they were a very good turntable for a low-ish price.

Correct Anders as usual. Sumiko is noted in the paperwork. I'm actually impressed with the sound from it. With a nice cart i'm sure it would sing. It might be entry level but it's a very nice TT.
