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.

1st, write or call Linn, with the serial # they can tell you what production run it is. I also have a friend in Memphis that has been trained at the factory and does setups for Linn, let me know iand I will ask him to help you. For shipping contact LInn as well, buy the box and packing from them, I am sure they will include instructions for packing. Probably the best money you will spend for you and the buyer down the line. Usually I think I can pack anything well, but I think Linns are relatively delicate, and I know I would much prefer to have Linns packing in this case. I hate seeing a good piece of equipment, no matter what it is, get damaged for no good reason.
As far as value goes, it could easily be worth in excess of $500 with that setup, depending on physical condition of course.
