I received this turn table from an estate about 20 years ago. The Estate was Ham Radio Gear which I am familiar with. This item has been stored in a clean dry environment, in the original shipping box. From what I can tell, this unit is new or as new in the original factory shipping carton.  I have not unpacked it and took the pictures of each layer in the box. As you can see it is unassembled.

  The inner factory box is in great shape, the outer box is missing one of the flaps and is torn on the side. It is holding together but I will pack the factory box in a larger outer box to better protect it. This makes it a large dimensional weight so I am not adding anything for handling or packing.  A pickup will negate the shipping cost.

 I do not have the manual and it is untested. It is a cool collectors item and has been stored in the factory box since it was made in the 1970s.

 I am selling it as is, as described for refurbishing, or to keep as it is. Because of the shipping and packing I cannot accept a return as I do with most of my Ham Radio Products.

 If the shipping cost is less than quoted (if you are close to Wisconsin) I will refund the difference in the shipping cost.
