Sansui tt...?

[rehless]

I have been eyeballing a Sansui SR-717, pretty dirty, on eBay.
Stereo repairman told me Sansui is not good. I thought the
717 and 838 were good tables. Opinions, please. Thank you.

Looks like a a pretty decent vintage table to me (assuming that it's in a good state).

I have a SR-838 and had a SR-737. I've had a dozen other TTs from other makers. Mine have had no problems and works wonderfully. Some have speed issues, so do other brands of TTs that are 30+ years old. I really enjoy my SR-838.

The SR-717 is a fine looking TT. Do a search on AK for more specific info.

Good luck!

Thanks, guys. The clown who is selling it knows nothing about tt's and it is dirty. If I can get it for fifty bucks or less, I'll see what my repairman can do to shape it up.

Is this the table your asking about?

Stanton, it is. Maybe some one will out bid me and I won't have to contend with it.
Wrote the seller and he/she knows nothing about what it should have on it as standard
hardware. And it is dirty as hell. Probably end up writing it off as a learning experience.

I have one that I bought from a local AKer a couple years ago (ehoove). It's a nice solid turntable.
