I already have an SL-Q202 and an SL-D3 (not to mention a Teac TN-300), but I've been around long enough to know the 1200 is kind of a big deal. My question today is: how big?
He bought it brand new in 2010 and has put less than 40 hours on it total. It will come with a Shure M97xE cartridge installed. It is in immaculate condition (he's an ultra-anal neat freak). I've known him for 20 years so there are zero trust issues, not to mention that he suggested I test drive it in my home for a few weeks before buying which I will be doing regardless.
He is asking $500 for the whole setup. I've poked around on eBay and see that they regularly go for more than that, sometimes much more. But I already have a couple of Technics, both of which are fully automatic, I might add, so if anything the 1200 will be less convenient for everyday use. But is it worth it?
I'm leaning towards buying it off him, but I'm still on the fence. I know very little about the 1200.
Thanks!
