Item: Acoustic Research (AR) XA Turntable
Location: Melbourne, Bulleen 3100
Price: $300 ono
Item Condition: 7/10 ? original and unrestored, 100% working
Reason for selling: Bought on a whim when picking up a Sansui 101 because I loved the heritage and it looks great. But i'm not a vinyl guy.
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only
Extra Info:
I'm sure people know much more about this than I do. Pre-cursor to the Thorens, Linn Sondek.
Clearly, i've done myself no favours and not even done a good clean on this 
Works fine, speed is right but completely original and could do with some TLC - my plan was to do a resto, but seriously, who has that kind of time.
VERY simple mechanical setup, lots of great info on restoration projects. Loved by many.
This comes with the original dust cover, which often sell on their own for circa $100.
I'm also lead to believe this is a little on the rare side, since it is original 240v cable, but I could be wrong.
This was used regularly by previous owner (with Sansui 101).
