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 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: 65511) constructed from beautiful Afromosia hardwood and has that classic Linn fluted finish. It is corner braced, perfectly square and level, and presents in very good condition. The plinth has a couple of slight marks to the front left corner (see photos). The top-plate is an original Linn one which has been carefully cleaned and reinstalled using brand-new screws, 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 main 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. The outer platter does have some slight discoloration that does not affect performance (see photos). In addition, a genuine and brand-new Linn felt mat is included. The tonearm is a genuine Linn Akito 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 tonearm cable is also an original Linn supplied one while the tonearm board is a recent genuine Linn model in excellent condition. As for the mechanics, the springs and grommets are genuine Linn and brand-new while the motor is a genuine Linn model which has been completely cleaned, tested, and lubricated to give 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 one. I have also supplied a brand-new Linn belt and a vial of spare genuine Linn oil is provided for the main bearing. The power supply is a genuine Linn Valhalla that has been thoroughly tested, completely cleaned and fully serviced with new electrolytic capacitors, a higher-rated Bridge rectifier, and a Surge Guard varistor has been installed in place of R1. 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. Finally, the power switch is a brand-new and uprated Valhalla Electronics one of their latest design. 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 as supplied by Linn and, although not new, it is in very good condition and comes complete with brand-new Linn hinges. The base is an original Linn fiberboard baseboard and includes a set of brand-new superior vibration isolation feet. BONUS: I will include a brand-new Audio-Technica ATVM95C cartridge and stylus for free as an extra incentive but will not reduce the price if you dont want it. 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 main bearing will be lubricated with brand-new genuine Linn oil and a vial of spare Linn oil will be provided, instructions will also be provided as to how the confirm the main bearing 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 correctly 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. Please study the pictures carefully as they form part of the description.
