Bummer, as you probably guessed I was particularly interested in that turntable.

Holy shites. Is it a 124? What is next to the selector knob? Someone may have gotten it for $30.

That's probably a suction cup / shaft for one of those red dustdragger things on a lightweight arm that rides about 180 degrees across the disc from the headshell.

p.s. -- he's removed the turntable from his ad, by now he's probably got way too many emails about the turntable and it's probably starting to sink in.... I didn't tell him.
 
Its like you wish you never seen it . Been there a few weeks ago in Michigan another Thoren 124 for 130.00, with in 10 minutes of his post on Cl a guy was at his door ..:sigh:
 
I hope Roland is not a member. He will not be happy with the tropical vacation he could have financed.
 
I've been killing time catching up on a pile of music I haven't played yet, and I'm close enough to have been that lucky guy who got it. Serves me right for giving up on DC CL years ago.
 
I saw the ad for the CR-400 earlier today but I didn't click on it. I do the "turntable" search regularly. I completely missed this one! I just paid $700 for a Thorens 124 with a SME 3009 tone arm. What a kick!
 
If I had been the turntable buyer, I would have taken it all as it would have been less likely to tip off the seller how far off he was as he fended off the other inquiries.

You got the one at the "pawn shop". Did you replace the headshell yet? Yeah I would have taken the whole lot for $140 if it had still been there.

Oh well....

There's always next time.
