Sota Sapphire Series III Turntable w/Audioquest PT-6 Tonearm

Description

Beautiful vintage turntable from Sota. Everything functions properly.
Non-vacuum, spring-suspended version.
According to Sota (we checked), this Sapphire was manufactured in 1987. It's a testament to Sota and the quality of this table that the Sapphire is still being made today.
Includes brand-new power supply sourced directly from Sota Industries (retail price around 0).
This "Plus" version of the Sapphire
Series III comes with
an Audioquest PT-6 tonearm installed at the Sota factory.
Plinth and chassis are in very good shape, with a few smudges and scratches (mostly on the back near the dust cover hinges).
Tinted acrylic dust cover is cracked near one hinge (see photo), but still structurally intact. Some smudges and scratches in cover, but tint makes them much less noticeable.
We will also include the mounted Shure V15 V-MR cartridge; we do not know the number of hours on it, but it sounded fine when we put the Sota through its paces. However, the cartridge should be considered a free bonus and
not
part of the purchase price, as we will not consider full or partial refunds if the cartridge fails.
Important:
Local pick-up only. Turntables, especially spring-suspension units, are too susceptible to the ravages of shipping. We will consider delivery within a modest radius of our store in Vienna, VA.
We reserve the right to block future `transactions from buyers who do not pay.
