Saw this on CL. "Good condition, best offer".
I offered $30 and got no response.
A week later it was posted again. I asked if they had gotten my offer. They had but had higher ones and were going to give it another week. So, I forgot about it.
Some time later they contacted me. All the bids fell through. Did I still want it?
I went to have a look(about 10 miles away).
They were dealing with their parents home and belongings. I guess no one wanted the old console.
Turned on the unit. Lots of dirty pot noise, sound from just one side and the mode selector wouldn't turn. The seller grabbed the selector knob and gave it a twist. It turned. And kept turning freely, no longer connected to anything.
On the up side. The Garrad AT60mkII was operating fine and they said they had boughrt a new stylus at the Needle Doctor(their store just done the road).
They also had the Fisher and Garrard owners manuals, a 1967 Fisher catalog and a 45 stacker that looked NIB.
They wouldn't take less than $30 even with the broken selector. I gave them the $30.

Garrad out for clean and lube
The record slot liner has disintegrated. Has anyone painted the inside black or re-lined one?
