Beschreibung
I dont think Rega turntables need any introduction. You obviously know what this is or you wouldnt be looking at the listing. This is a British-made Rega P5 with the TT power supply upgrade and an Exact II cartridge. This dates back to ca. 2004-2006. Everything is original / no mods. The condition is good. I cant guarantee the age of the belt, but lets hope you were going to replace it anyway. It works, but go ahead and install a new belt. I removed and cleaned the sub-platter (gasp!). I had no idea how old the oil was and I didnt want to test it until I was sure it was cleaned and lubricated. Its not rocket science. I cleaned the spindle with 99% industrial isopropyl alcohol and cleaned out the well with lint-free detailing swabs. I refilled the well with exactly 3 drops of hypoid gear oil. I dont like the feet on the P5. If it were me, I would replace them. Theres nothing damaged about them, I just dont care for them. I also dont care for the plastic sub-spindle. There are aluminum options out there if you are so inclined. The Perspex (British, remember) dust cover is in great condition with only the faintest wisps of scratches. It could easily be polished out with some superfine 3M machine polish if you need it to be invisible. Im nitpicking here. Its really in fantastic shape. Youll find a link to a demo video below. Obviously this was not an ideal testing setup sitting on top of an old A/V receiver, but I didnt feel like moving components around. Unfortunately YouTube wont make the video visible with copyrighted material so they muted the music. If you message me, Ill find some way to send it to you. Demo Video: https://youtu.be/bTzONzcDOEw If you purchase this, we can discuss shipping options. I will double-box the Rega box, but I think I might just use blue painters tape over the sub-spindle to keep it from coming out in shipping. The safer option is to remove it, but then you need to re-oil it. Ill secure the tone arm with a hook-and-loop strap.
