Tips for buying used[edit]
1. transport lock
Removing the transport lock:
For transport protection there are 3 red marked screws under the turntable. These are to be removed and are to be inserted for storage into the 3 holes of the foam rubber insert to the right of the drive plate.
Attaching the transport lock:
For the transport lock the 3 red marked screws under the turntable have to be into the free holes around the drive plate.

2. 220 V unit on 230/240 V mains:
Device can only be operated with 220 V (50 Hz). In Europe, currently a mains voltage of 230/240 V (50 Hz). This can lead to problems during operation and to a reduction of the service life. Due to the increased mains voltage of 5% (230 V) or 9% (240 V), an increased heating of the increased heating of the drive motor.
Since the speed of the turntable is frequency-dependent (50 Hz), there are no problems here.
3. prices according to collectors catalog 2006 (see above)
Condition A: 150.- € Condition B: 100.- € State C: 50.- €
Ebay (2008) 30.- to 160.- € (condition difficult to define) Is offered very often and is in my opinion for a collector a very worthwhile and optically beautiful device.
A repair is almost always more expensive than a complete unit: * drive belt 10.- € to 20.- € (+postage). * Repairing the plexiglass hood. (glue, abrasive...): ca. 30 € and a lot of time * needle: about 20.- € to 25. - € * scanning system: ca. 50.- € * headshell: 20.- € * Oils, greases for bearings and dampers ... I.e.: A device without headshell and scanning system, which is often offered on Ebay by dealers, is then very quickly around 100, - € more expensive than expected.
