Technics SL-1200 Mk II; opinions??


I have an opportunity to buy a very nice Technics SL-1200 Mk II turntable with a new Ortofon cartridge for $340.00. I know the table was fairly well regarded 30 years ago, but I'm wondering if that's a decent price now. The Ortofon is new, but I'm not sure exactly which model it is. Seller says Ortofon ran him $160.00. Any thoughts?? Thanks.

Why not look at other sl-1200 tables and see what they are priced at ?

Take a look on this site :

Sometimes we have to do our own homework......
Why not search the forums and see what 2 cartridges have been used with the SL-1200 with good results.
