WTF = Which Turntable FridayThis week’s WTF offers up a choice between two legendary turntables that need little in the way of introduction. Pretend you have your choice of either one, for free. Free is a good price, so take one.
Oracle Delphis With Arm By SME
Kenwood L-O7D With Stock Arm
I have zero experience with the L-O7D and have always wanted one, so here is my chance. Simple as that. I’m sure user510 will choose differently.
How about you? Which of these venerable classics would you prefer to have?
Have a great weekend.
Dean.
Ps: Last summer, while at a flea market hunting for old fishing tackle I came upon an L-O7D. The condition was not good, somewhere between fair and poor on the table but the arm looked good. However, the power supply was missing. In my eyes it was a parts table. The asking price was $1500. I explained to the seller about the missing power supply, which he did not know was needed or missing. He understood this was a major problem and reduced his price to $1,000. Still too much for me, so I walked off and continued my hunt for old tackle. I circled back about 30 minutes later to make him an offer, but he had already sold it ….for $200 !!! Well, I guess I should have negotiated earlier. Live and learn.
reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
