Where can I get one and what do they go for? After seeing a picture of Onepixel's posted on the forum and I want one! Can they be had for under $1000? Completed auction listings show nothing but there is one in Europe for a BIN of $2399 euros (ouch!). I am hoping they aren't that expensive.

Thank you!

The last time I saw a PLC-590, just the plinth (it was mint w/box) went for a little more than $900 on eBay. Then you have options for the tonearm. Not sure how much the matching Pioneer PA-5000 tonearm is going for.

2399 Euros is about $3729 US, that's a big chunk of crazy change. Maybe I'll sell mine... naw. I really like mine way to much! :)

You can even get one for free, itīs only a matter of luck.:D

When you say it was just the plinth did you mean the table minus an arm? If so $900 doesn't seem bad for one mint with a box. I was planning on putting on a different arm anyways. How often do they come up on eBay?

Thanks

I know what you mean, but the odds of finding this specific unit outside of eBay or similar online sites is going to be rather slim. Seems to be a fairly rare piece. I hope I can find one.

you never know what you can find outside of ebay. Actually, the last PLC-590I saw was sold on audiogon some months back. It wasn't a "badged" PLC-590 but it actually had the Pioneer Series 20 badge on it. They are the exact same turntable.

Just keep on actively searching thrifts, garage sales, local paper classifieds and other venues. You never know what you can find outside of ebay.

Yup, the table minus the arm.
