$200 and my Sony PS-X600 was completely dissambled and repaired. Now I have six turntables and have no idea where to use it. Probably go with the vintage system NR-1015 Nikko.
Or I may just try to sell it. Never get near what I've got into it now.
I may go ahead and put it in the Soundcraftsmen/Luxman system, but I'll have to move the very heavy Technics SL-1400Mk2.
For its compact size, the PS-X600 is quite heavy. I'm anxious to hear it, it has Sony's legendary Biotracer tonearm and an Ortofon cartridge.

it's a goodie - keep it!

Hi Pete
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. These things have always intrigued me. Supposed to be a very nice sounding table.
And if you decide you don't wanna keep it, let me know! :)

Own two. Used as my main turntable until recently (replaced by a mint PS-X75, it's older, bigger brother). With a good cartridge and if its electronic innards are still good, it's a great turntable. Axel's TheVintageKnob has a page on it, and a link to the Brit audio mag HiFi who review it very favorably (say its comparable to a Rega 3). Sony Biotracers still don't get much respect, so imagine you'd lose money on it if you auctioned it now. I picked up my mint PS-X75 for about $130 w/shipping, and a PS-X600 with a starting price of $170 just got zero bids (though it had a few problems), although about a month or so ago a minter (looked like it had never been out of its original box) went for around $300. Comparable Denon's (the ones with their version of the Biotracer arm) rarely go for less than $250 (or $500-600 for the higher end ones). Funny the similar Denon's go for so much more. All I know is that the build quality of both the X600 and X75 is as good as I've ever seen on a turntable. Maybe their time will come.

bully - good for you. What's up with the repairs? Did the tech give you a run-down on the issues involved in getting it going again. Would be interesting to know what they did for yours.

It was in sorry ass shape when I got it--and it was well packed, I must say.
It did power on. That was all the description said, so you get what you get.
So I need to hook it up and see if the cartridge has a useable stylus.
