Turntable, Belt Drive

A manual belt-drive turntable on a walnut-veneer plinth with a smoked acrylic dust cover. Spindle & Sleeve Records gave it a full service before it went on the shelf: a new drive belt, fresh lubrication on the main bearing, cleaned speed contacts and a check with a strobe disc at both 33 and 45. It runs quietly and holds speed.

The tonearm has a working cue lever and an adjustable counterweight, and we fitted a new cartridge and stylus, already aligned. The dust cover has light hairline marks from years of use and the hinges hold it open. It needs an amplifier with a phono input or a separate phono stage. It comes with a 14-day return if anything is not right.
