Description
Hi! I have been selling on eBay for over 20 years and I am proud to have a 5-star rating from over 600 sales. If you read my eBay feedback as a seller, you will see that my customers are always happy with what they receive from my sales and auctions. I always describe the items I offer as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed photographs. In addition, I am very meticulous about packaging items for shipping. I use either genuine Linn packaging or quality, sturdy double-boxed packaging to ensure the item arrives in the condition it left me (and, while it does increase the size of the item which leads to higher shipping costs, it also ensures your new LP12 arrives safely). I am happy to ship to Canada and the entire USA while some select items are also offered to the UK. I have completely dismantled this turntable and then either replaced or meticulously cleaned and reconditioned every component as it was rebuilt. Rest assured, I have rebuilt dozens of Linn Sondek LP12 turntables over the years with excellent results and every new owner has been very pleased - I only recently began selling them on eBay, however. Product Description: The plinth is an original Linn plinth (S/N: 78268) constructed from Afromosia hardwood and has that classic Linn fluted finish. It is corner braced, perfectly square and level, and presents in very good condition. The top-plate is an original Linn one which has been carefully cleaned and reinstalled using brand-new washers and nyloc nuts. The sub-chassis is a genuine Linn bonded model which has been thoroughly checked to ensure no warping, carefully cleaned, and re-fit to the plinth also using brand-new hardware. It has an excellent Linn pre-Cirkus bearing (which some say is more musical than later bearings). The bearing has been carefully cleaned and was found to be in excellent condition. It comes with the matching Linn inner platter and a beautifully cleaned Linn outer platter. In addition, a genuine and recent Linn felt mat in excellent condition is included. The tonearm is a genuine Linn Ittok LVII which easily passes the swing and bob tests confirming the horizontal and vertical bearings are in excellent shape while the head-shell presents in fine condition. The armrest is also in excellent condition. The tonearm cable is also an original Linn supplied one. I have given it more protection from RF interference using a braided covering and it has the original Linn RCA plugs. In addition, the tonearm board is a brand-new Linn model of their latest design. As for the mechanics, the springs and grommets are genuine Linn and brand-new while the motor is a brand-new Linn Premotec model which will provide years of trouble-free service. The mudguard washers and aerotight lock nuts have been replaced with brand-new and the ground wire (earth cable) is also a brand-new genuine Linn one. I also have supplied a brand-new Linn belt and a vial of spare Linn oil is provided for the bearing. The power supply is an original Linn Valhalla that has been thoroughly tested, completely cleaned and serviced with new capacitors, a higher-rated Bridge rectifier, and a Surge Guard varistor. A brand-new, fast-blow ceramic fuse has also installed. It supports 110v or 240v operation and will be set to 110v operation to function in North America. I have included a brand-new superior quality 18-gauge, 5-foot power (mains) cable with a North American 3-prong plug. The lid (dustcover) is genuine and brand-new as supplied by Linn and comes complete with brand-new Linn hinges. The base is a genuine Linn Formica baseboard which allows access to the tonearm cable plug. It includes a set of brand-new superior vibration isolation feet. Setup and Instructions: To help if you are new to the world of Linn LP12s, I supply instruction to assist in set-up and, while the bearing will be lubricated with brand-new Linn oil and a vial of spare Linn oil will be provided, instructions will also be provided as to how the confirm the oil level prior to use. Prior to shipping it will have all adjustments made including setting the springs for that special Linn pistonic bounce and the motor speed will also set by using a KAB Speedstrobe quartz-locked strobe-light system (the gold standard). I am happy to answer setup questions to ensure you are pleased with your purchase. This a stellar Linn Sondek LP12 which looks and plays like new so please buy with confidence.

THE FINE PRINT - PLEASE READ Please contact me before Bidding or Buying if you have Zero, Very Low, or Excessively Negative Feedback otherwise I reserve the right to cancel the sale and refund your money.If you are a dealer or obviously an eBay reseller, I reserve the right to cancel the sale and refund your money as my goal is to get a Linn LP12 in every deserving home, not just enrich someone else.Warranty and technical support are available online or from the respective company - I do not provide technical support, but I am willing to answer questions to try to help you out.

Damage can occur during shipping so you need to take that up with the shipper and not request a refund or leave negative feedback. Please contact me so I can try to help. I will only ever ship to the address eBay has on file for you or else the system thinks the item was never delivered. eBay automatically collects tax for items being shipped to some locations - I do not control this nor can I prevent it. In Canada, GST/HST is automatically charged on all eBay purchases since 2022, even though I am not running a business and the item you are buying may be pre-owned. Thank our stupendous federal government. Shipping is always more expensive than people realize so please do not complain about the cost of shipping - by taking the extra time and care to double-box and well pad your new turntable, shipping costs are higher because the size of the package is increased. In addition, all LP12 shipments have to be signed for by an adult (something shippers charge extra for but increases our mutual protection). Please ask questions before buying or bidding. Thanks
