joshnich Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 This looks to good to be true so am assuming that its a scam . But if it isnt it looks to be an incredible buy. http://cgi.ebay.com/THORENS-TD-124-ORTOFON-SPU-ROYAL-N-SME-3009_W0QQitemZ160304943292QQcmdZViewItemQQptZTurntables?hash=item160304943292&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Josh, I don't see any red flags in the description. It might be the Oslo location that has potential bidders hesitant. If this was an item I was searching for, I think I'd probably want to have some communication with the seller to make sure I was comfortable. The seller requires paypal, so you have some recourse there if needed. Usually if an ebay account has been hijacked, the "seller" has an alternate email in the description. Don't know if there is a way this person might have hiijacked the account and made changes so the communications would go to the scammer.

fini Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Boy, that looks nice, Josh! Other than a missing anti-skate weight (and maybe another part on the arm), it does look pretty incredible. He did indeed have it listed for higher (in completed auctions). Still, you never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattYL Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Very nice! The 220V/50Hz thing would make me nervous, but maybe afficianados of European turntables have solved that problem. It's only 15W so I suppose you could use a little converter that lets you an electric razor anywhere in the world. Would it spew out lots of 50Hz, and odd harmonics thereof, that would get into your cartridge and wiring? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 No worries. Simple as can be to change it to 110V 50Hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
