SOTA Sapphire Belt Drive Suspended Turntable with Linn Akito Tonearm In Excellent Condition

SOTA Sapphire Belt Drive Suspended Turntable with Linn Akito Tonearm In Excellent Condition

  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.

 This unit has the oak wood cabinet is is absolutely beautiful and free from any scratches or marks. Even the hinged dust cover looks really nice and is not marked up like many I have seen.  

 It looks like it has the tone arm cartridge but it looks like the stylus was removed so you will need that. 

  The audio interface cable is also included which have a specialized plug.

 I do not know much about high end turn tables and I do not have the wall wart type power supply to test it. I know the previous owner tested it and it was working when I got it, but the power supply and manual got separated among  the many loads of gear I picked up.

 Because this is a suspended turn table, you need the wood stabilizer platform and original shipping box which is designed to lock in the suspension. This turn table has these items as well as the two Platter lock screws to lock in the platter, and bolts to attach it to the wood platform so it cannot move in the factory shipping box.

  I have packed it as per the you tube video that Sota made using the original packing materials and cardboard to center the platform as per directions.

   This is a very heavy table and I think it would be best to pack it in an additional outside box with handles to give it more top and bottom protection and ease of handling. This puts the weigh over 50 pounds with the weight of the packing materials, and added dimensional cost.

 If the shipping amount is less (close to my state of Wisconsin) I will refund the difference in shipping cost.

 I am selling this Sota Sapphire as is, as described for parts, refurbishing or to use as it is. Due to the difficult packing and cost to ship, I can not accept returns as I normally do with my Tested Ham Radio products.

  I have priced it near the bottom end of recent sales,

  I do not have the power supply.
