Inherited a Linn-How can I tell what I've got?????


Just inherited a Linn LP12 from early to late 80's with what i believe is a 707 Grace Arm and grado gold cart.If I decide to sell it how do I know what I have?My guess is it would have been left stock as far a bearing etc goes.Trying to guess it's re-sale worth.I was told by one Linn'y that if it was siezed maybe $300 but since it spins and plays up to $500.The serial BTW is 033359.Have no idea of how i could shipp this to somebody.Just remove platter tape everything that can be taped and put into deep box with "This end Up".Would keep it but I have two tabels right now.

S/N above 31,826 1981 February.

Up to following mechanical:

Nirvana mechanical components. This consisted of
1 new spring kit (3 springs & 6 grommets),
3 large locknuts, 6 small locknuts,
5 black chassis bolts,
2 motor mounting screws, domes, & nuts
allowing it to be positioned with better accuracy.
1 motor thrust bearing kit (endcap, spring, ball bearing).
1 new drive belt.
The springs changed from zinc coloured to black.

The Vahalla was introduced slightly later, only after [38794], but that does not exclude a possiblity that the owner upgraded. Look below, if there is not complicated circuit board, you have the Basik motor (or a square big on/off button; Vahalla has a touch-on/off black button with a small LED).

Always can post Linn issues if not already cover in my site.
