I have the feeling he's hoping to get a premium for the thing as "a work of art" and not just a turntable. Even with that angle added, the price is just :screwy: ! :yes:
Just for the record (because the listing will disappear at some point), the asking price is shown as US$75,000.00 obo --and that is not my typo, but what the listing says. Here is the description from the listing:
Rare classic SP-10 Mk II direct drive turntable supported by Albert Porter's custom ebony panerholtz plinth. Google reference Albert Porter's efforts in building this plinth. A true work of engineering craftmanship and art. SME's reference 12 inch 312S tonearm coupled with the direct dirve turntable puts you in analog bliss. A Purist Provectus phono calble is attached to the tonearm. See Albert Porter"s set-up under "All Out Assult" section on the "Gon. Read the numerous blogs on the 'Gon under "Analog" discussing the advantages of direct dirve TTs. This piece is art combined with engineering beauty. Acquired an air-bearing turntable and have to give up one. Toughest choice of all my acquisitions. No room on the rack.
