Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Here is a lovely and “very near original condition” Linn Sondek LP12 “Fruit Box” . These early decks are renowned for their warm fluid sound. It is s/n 26393 – and has 22-Feb-1978 date-stamped on the inside of the plinth. Everything works. It has the original red button power supply and a spot-welded sub-chassis with a gold colored bearing body. The motor is very quiet , smooth and gives a correct and stable speed. The plinth is a “Greaves Fluted” type in the now unobtainable Afromosia wood and is in excellent condition with no obvious marks or dents. It still has the original makers s/n label on the back. It has correctly functioning sprung hinges and the transparent lid is in excellent undamaged condition. It has a rare and sought after Hadcock GH228 uni-pivot tonearm which is in excellent , complete and working condition. It’s fitted with an Ortofon VMS20E Cartridge/Stylus and even has an additional extra-heavy counterweight and an additional brand new, boxed replacement stylus. This tone-arm is original continuous wired type and is in excellent shape. Admittedly it’s very tricky to set up correctly but sounds fantastic when it’s all properly balanced and aligned. The deck has enjoyed continuous ownership from new, up to 2022. Recently I have replaced the suspension springs and grommets as the original ones were beginning to sag. I also had a new drive belt fitted as again, the original one was becoming brittle. It’s been fully thoroughly cleaned and serviced. I had considered further upgrades but decided it’s better left alone as it sounds fantastic and there aren’t many of these original specification red button decks left now as most were personalized or upgraded. This is a very delicate and sensitive deck so its listed for collection only ..... no returns accepted once it leaves my care.

Linn Sondek lp12 turntable. Early immaculate time warp example. If you want an unmolested early LP12 then I cant imagine a better example. The lid is literally immaculate. The plinth is beautiful with a tiny blemish on the rear of plinth. The top plate is clean. The motor is silent. The inner and outer platter are totally uncorroded with no dents. The armboard is perfect. The bearing is perfect and carrying correct white grease. Ive set the motor to exact speed (via the correct Linn instructions) The lid hinges are shiny and new. The plastic lid up hinge is like new. There is no plinth damage from the plastic hinge. Please zoom in and enjoy the photos. The turntable was bought in 1976. Put in place away from sunlight and lightly used. Its difficult to imagine it was used at all except a Valhalla was fitted in 1984 ( which I have removed as this TT should have the original supply, this LP12 has no supply or tonearm Ive shown photos with the Valhalla Ittok Asak for you to see it set up and know that its been running recently) Only the bare turntable and lid are for sale! Most LP12s are heavily modified. This one is unmolested and really lovely. Any questions please ask
