So I picked up this beauty on ebay,
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-YP-701-Stereo-Turntable-Record-Player-Original-Box/323380793958?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
Price was a little high but I could not find anyone who had anything bad to say about this tt.
I came home today and found it on the porch. It was double boxed but when I picked it up I could hear clunking. When I opened it the platter was put back on the tt instead of seperate and away from everything in the top of the box. It had worked itself loose and bent the tone arm support back by all of the adjustment weights and the small weight on the thin line was wrapped and tangled around it self. I managed to very lightly bend the tone arm support straight and untangle the weight line but I am not sure if everything is ok because I have to wait until the new belt comes in next week to test it.
I will say this, the inside of that TT is clean as can be!
If you guys could take a look at the pics and let me know if everything looks normal I would appriciate it.
I also have a Grado Prestige Black2 on the way as well all though the cartridge is an AT I have no idea what model?
thanks for any advice you have!
Jeff
