Sony PS 8750 Info wanted

I recently scored a Sony PS 8750 on CL and I was wondering what you all think of this TT? The tone arm mechanism looks pretty cool. Output is sketchy and I would imagine that a thorough cleaning inside and out is in order.

Thanks

Eric,

posted in your thread on the JVC.

This is a fine table.

Careful of the arm wand- it's carbon fibre.

Also, careful of the platter- it features a magnetic strip on it that if chipped, damaged, washed, scratched heavily or put near magnets, screws up the X-Tal lock reading and significantly drops the value of the table.

The strip is brown in color, like a cassette tape.


The table is an excellent table and if working 100% and in perfect shape, typically sells for $350 to $400.

If the X-Tal is not working, or if the magnetic strip is borked, not so much.


I own four JVCs and eight Sonys- they are very good tables.


Where are you located? I may be able to help you with the intermittant issue. It's most likely an easy fix, and my thoughts are on replacing the RCA cables.
