    Linn Sondek LP12 in black ash with silver Ittok LVII. 1987 model boxed/original packaging and in immaculate condition - apart from a small crack (about 1-1.5 inches) in the lid near one of the hinge mounts. Cirkus bearing and Valhalla PSU. Would benefit from a service as it has been boxed up and not used for approx 3 years.

    It also comes with a Troika cartridge with damaged cantilever - this is not currently usable, but could either be rebuilt or used as a part-exchange against a new cartridge (e.g. Linn dealers will give £200 trade-in against a new Akiva cartridge at £2200). It is included in the price, anyway.

    Collection only from Gloucester (near M5 J11/J11A), though could possibly deliver or meet halfway for my fuel costs. £900.

    Further research - the Expert Stylus Company in Surrey charge £287 for a full 'good-as-new' rebuild of the Troika, which even in this condition go for £100+ on Ebay.

    As a guide the average Ebay prices for these arms are usually around the £400 mark, and the motor units go for upwards of £500.
