Random stuff from my test bench. Grace G707 head shell in good but not great condition, some marks on the front edge. New Rega Carbon cartridge. The Rega was never installed but I dont have the original box. And finally a AT15Sa cartridge that sounded awesome, but Ive misplaced the stylus. Selling everything just as you see it in the pictures. Thanks!

This beautiful and awesome sounding tonearm recently came off of a working Linn LP12 turntable. I have changed the cabling to now include a panel with high-quality RCA famale connectors to enable good interconnects to be used otherwise evrything is as stock. Please note - I am in New Zealand so shipping will most probably be internationl - please let me know your location if youd like me to obtain an accurate shipping price.

With the Linn LP12, youll own a legend of the best turntable in the world! With this particular LP12, youll hear the legend as it was enjoyed back when the legend was established in the 1970s. It has the red button power switch, the venerated Grace G-707 tonearm properly fitted and adjusted in to the arm board, a new Nirvana, new springs, sub-chassis, new bearing that is compatible with synthetic oil, bearing well, new bottom panel and feet, old screws replaced, re-screwed and epoxied and so everything is just like it was new! See the copy of work done by probably the best Linn technician in the US, Rick Duplisea, at Audio Alternative. It also comes with a Grace cartridge but the stylus needs to be replaced. The unit is without a dustcover for optimal sound quality. The photos depict the turntable still wrapped in plastic, the outer platter in a box and the inner platter with the counterweight in another box. All in all the turrntable will come in three boxes. I will let the new owner experience unwrapping the turntable as received from Audio Alternative. In a Stereophile review (https://www.stereophile.com/turntables/1103linn/index.html) of a stock, modern Linn LP12, it was concluded: On balance, the complete Linn system is not the best analog front-end Ive ever heard, but it is among a handful that I could easily live with because it made music that was believable. I have two Linn LP12s. one Technics SL-1200GR, two Sota Sapphires, a Rega Planar 3, and a Rega Planar 10 because I enjoy listening to LPs, my unceasing curiosity and personal belief that if something is made to be great, (like the historic 1716 Stradivari Messiahs still considered to being the best today,) then it should be timeless. The choice should not change every year or every three years! Ive been intrigued: with everyone (crowd-following audio enthusiasts) going for the SL-1200GR, I wondered whether their choice and mine may be ill-informed. Thus I brought out my LP12s from years of storage since our move to Las Vegas from Manchester, New Hampshire. After the first one was inspected, updated and checked by Audio Alternative, I took the opportunity to compare. I played two records that I knew well and liked with both the SL-1200GR and the Linn LP12 for a few hours. I found after a while I no longer enjoyed listening to the SL-1200GR and played the two records and many more the rest of the day with the LP12. Why? The LP12 played music that sounded and felt like music. The SL-1200GR is impressive in terms of overall manufacturing fitness and quality, rotational accuracy, convenience, adjustment, durability, portability. But for me, if you want to hear, feel and enjoy the music , the LP 12 is better. This seems self-serving since I am selling a LP12 turntable. Be that as it may, I just wanted to find out for myself and share my enlightenment. If you disagree, thats your prerogative. But do your due diligence. Dont rely on fake reviews, unreliable reviewers, commercial publications. BTW, the LP12 I used for comparison is not the one for sale. It is a later version that has the Valhalla, Ittok LV II tonearm, new armboard and LP12 rebuild. Both turntables that were compared used the Ortofon Super OM20 cartridge, which I consider timeless. I am not a professional reviewer, not a follower, abhor fake news...just someone who loves listening to live music.

Looks to be in good shape but I have not tested it. SORRY I DON’T HAVE THE 5 PIN DIN RCA CONNECTOR Original box, tonearm an armrest Original mounting templates, and manuals included As it has not been tested it is being sold as is. Sale is for the tonearm, armrest only. Armboard and turntable not included I have been shipping turntables and other stereo components for over 15 years so you can be confident it will be well packed.

I’ve been an audiophile since I was 12 and ordered my first amp and turntable thru the mail, after building my own speakers! Fast forward several decades, now I have more than I can handle. There are deals to be had, maybe you should have them, and get the same thrill I got when that first amp showed up on my porch. This is a GRACE G707 TONEARM, produced starting in the 1970s for low mass, high-compliance cartridges. These are semi-legendary for their excellent performance, and they were a go-to item for many high-end turntables. This one is TESTED, and WORKING, but has a few issues, to wit: 1) the cueing lever has to be held up, otherwise it lowers slowly to the record. 2) the plastic bracket that holds the cueing piston is cracked (very common, and replacement brackets are available here on eBay, 40 bucks for 2), and 3) scratches on the arm wand and age appropriate wear. It came to me with a Grado ZF-3 cartridge, and it’ll come to you that way. It’s a good sounding combo: the last photos show it playing Liszt on my (not included) ERA tester turntable. Low start bid on this lightweight light fixer-upper is ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE DAMN U.S. DOLLARS. Shipping is TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS in the CONUS, well-packed (this delicate thing will require a LOT of attention in that regard) and fully insured. THE FINE PRINT: NO RETURNS. Description is as thorough as I can make it and take it (take photos, that is). International shipping is through eBay International Shipping, as far as I am concerned. Your use or non-use of sketchy dropbox re-shippers is your business and your risk. Payment is due in 48 hours, please— this stuff isn’t life necessities, have the dosh when you bid. Don’t bid if you’ve never mounted a cartridge to a tonearm, or a tonearm to a turntable.

Rare Luxman A522 belt drive turntable. Comes with a lovely example of a grace G707 tonearm. Though based loosely on a regs P3 the brass pulley & substantial glass platter set this turntable apart. The armboard would certainly take a longer arm too. Fully working, lid could do with a bit of tlc/polish but no cracks and hinges are fine. The odd corner has a bit of peeling on the plinth but would be a dead easy to reglue if you wanted it mint
