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

Go to Home Depot or any hardware store. Buy a 5/8" cap used for covering chair feet. 4/$0.99.

If shipping make sure you use the cap on the shaft or all the oil will pour out all over the unit . The caps are available from linn in FL or most local Linn dealers.

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.

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.
