Minor oxidation to the aluminium frame and faint scratches to the acrylic dust cover. One aluminium dial cover is missing, as can be seen in the printed catalogue. The Start/Stop lever was replaced with the correct replacement from a Dual turntable. The interior electronics have been modified to include a contemporary pre amplifier with a USB output, of which the cable is included. The offered lot is supplied with a two turntables, one for 110v and one for 220v operation.
