So I just received my ebay buy of a Kenwood KD-550. And to be fair, the seller was selling it as a parts table but said that it powered on and plinth spun. He also was very clear that it was as-is, no returns. But he packed the turntable badly. He or she did not remove the tonearm weight or the plinth. The weight came off and ping-ponged around inside the box and put a few chips in the base. The tonearm tube is really loose, the tonearm lift is bent and the whole arm itself was loose and moved around in the box during shipping. Now I knew that this was a parts table when I bought it. But poor packing made what parts were there and possibly working even more expensive to fix or replace. I sent a complaint to the seller. I took pics as I opened the box. We shall see what they say... But totally disappointed right now. And maybe happy that it was not an Infinity Black Widow tonearm that was destroyed.
Oh... and it does not power on or spin.
I guess I'm going to be running my KD-2055 longer that I planned.
Yeah, I like the Kenwoods.
