Is this JVC turntable worth a Benjamin?

[SubWolfer]

Not too far from me and looks in decent shape. Looks like it says QL-A7 on the top. Decent deal?

Working. Easily worth more.

I have its sibling the fully manual QL7 and it's a great table. I paid twice that and thought it was a steal

OK, I'm going to contact the seller and check it out.

I see it's a manual que but it's supposed to lower the arm by the lever on the front and then automatically lift the arm and turns off the platter at the end of a record.

As long as it functions properly it's a good buy, despite the peeling black veneer on the front of the plinth?

That is an excellent turntable.

Posting it here might have given someone else the opportunity you seek. Good Luck.

Didn't even think of someone trying to beat me to it. Guess I should think twice before posting and asking what gear is worth then. Thanks for the tip.

You could just save the photo , post the photo and model number and not mention that it is on craigslist and ask questions . Good luck , that should be a great table .

Hopefully its still there, unusually low price.

Great TT, if it's in proper working order. I had a QL-10 that was not and I eventually had to part it out (long story). They are not easy to work on.

It's worth 2 Bennies easily. I love mine. Run Forrest.

Great drive, better than average arm (just check to make sure the counter weight droop isn't rubbing up on anything). The plinth is the only weak link. I have mine on a wall mount shelf to minimize the effect of footfalls, etc..
