Saw this on the bay.

Nakamichi TX-1000 Computing Turntable NEW OLD STOCK w/ VS- 100 Vacuum Stabilizer & Suction Unit, and TM-100 Turntable Mat.

How much were those when new?

 

[truckrglenn]

Don't have a clue myself. I didn't even know that Nakamichi made TT'S until I joined AK.

But I'm sure that some will know.

The TX-1000 was pre Dragon CT, much pricier and tonearmless.

Wow. That's a seriously impressive turntable! Although I still think all things being equal, I'd rather have a Technics SP10 MKIII - less fiddly bits to go wrong!

(although the MN6042 is bad enough!)

Interesting. As the writing on the top of the box is the same, it sold on Jan 4 for less than 1/3 of what he's asking. They must've used some very expensive tape to patch the boxes up.

It's no longer listed. I wonder why they ended the auction? Maybe somebody made them an offer that they couldn't refuse.

Anyway, there is a TX-1000 power supply for one Grover Cleveland.
