Pro-ject Acrylic Platter Suit Debut, 1Xpression etc. In an excellent unmarked condition.

Pro-Ject 1Xpression Mk2 Turntable Complete with Ortofon Cartridge & Acrylic Mat.. Time has come to sell on my much admired Pro-Ject 1Xpression Mk2 turntable, to part-finance an upgrade to an X1 or X2. Purchased new from AudioT here in Cardiff, this is my first decent turntable...! In excellent condition throughout, with no blemishes worth mentioning, apart from the almost inevitable and commonplace nick in plinth paintwork (see photo) from the cover ‘crashing’ down whilst re-adjusting the hinges, despite my best efforts over time to ensure this wouldn’t happen to me - could be touched up with matt grey hobby paint, or covered with small, self adhesive cushion pads...!? Used only by myself and sparingly, so no wear & tear or breakages to be concerned with - the plastic lid will have the usual light swirl marks from dusting and wiping clean. Fitted with its original Ortofon cartridge, which has seen little use, having been swapped out for an Ortofon 2M Bronze and has the heavier counterweight to accommodate the additional weight of this series of cartridges. Comes with all original/standard accessories, paperwork and box. Also included is an acrylic mat which effectively dampens any resonance or ringing from low frequency feedback or the metal platter. I’ll set it up so it’s ready to go: arm height and vertical tracking (azimuth), tracking force, et cetera. Will be double boxed to preserve original packaging and sent securely - collection welcome, or even delivery for petrol money in lieu of postage, if you’re not too far away and concerned about its safety. Any questions or queries are welcome and thanks for looking.
