Seems we cant send pvt messages here 

im at work right now , but can still do emails (ssshhh) not calls tho

Feel free to email me 

leperlord666AThotmail.com

And we can discuss further 

i have someone coming tom. morn ( if he makes it , due to work etc) 

Discussing with him , and a few audio stores in Toronto , holding that everything i ve said is true (thay havent seen it yet ) we ve agreed 1k to 1100 .00 would be fair

But once viewed one may not agree with what i said

Yes i do prefer a pick up as well

In fact , shipping this item is way too risky

Plz email if you can . i cant do fone for a while

Cheers

I live near Toronto and might be interested at the right price. My number is nine o five 462 one two three four if you would like to contact. 

Thank you as well :)-

If you are just going to sell it, perhaps an auction will get you  what it is worth.  You will normally have the option to put a minimum reserve price .  If you advertise the auction and post all the attachments you like to give people the correct condition of the table as it is.  If you get enough attention and you may need to use another big auction site to get as many eyes as you can on it, it will sell for what it is worth by definition.  Refurbishing old 'high end' audio is never cheap.  It is usually done for emotional reasons not financial.

Thank you

Give Brian Berdan a call at his shop (Audio Elements) in Pasadena, CA. His Dad Brooks is the guy who designed the mod for the table which Oracle ended up incorporating into it. Brooks taught Brian all about the table before dying a few years back.

PS

Cheersa , that was a great link as well mate

Thank you

Im in Ontario Canada 

If it needs maintenance id like to be able to drive there , and not ship

as i dont have proper shipping package

The furthest i may be able to go is Toronto , Kitchener , Guelph ontario

If anyone knows id appreciate it

Thanks

Tough part will be the age. The table is 35 years old, so it is possible that the parts may need to be refurbished.

I would also call Larry at Hollywood Sound in South Florida. He is a dealer, repair tech, and overall knowledgeable vinyl man.  He can give you a pointer, or perhaps service it for you.

good luck!
