    I haven't completely made my mind up what I'm doing yet (in hi-fi as in life!) but I am considering selling my LP12 and just want to see what the demand is for it.

    It is a 30*** serial number (which I think means 1984). It has the Basik power supply. It has had the Nirvana upgrade and a service/set up done by a Linn dealer just a couple of months ago. It comes with the Mission 774 'original' - and possibly a Denon DL103 cart with less than 200 hours on the clock.

    Cosmetically it is nice barring the lid (which I never use) which has a good few marks on it. The Mission and Denon are totally gorgeous!

    Reasons for selling are:-
    - I need 45 rpm for my 300 12" singles that are sitting there screaming 'play me' (and not at the cost of a Lingo!)
    - In my loft room the floor vibration just doesn't go with the LP12 - whereas other decks (eg Rega) seem unaffected (and yes I know my crap Soundstyle rack doesn't help!)

    The downside to any deal is that it must be picked up (or done via meet up) as I don't have packaging - and I'm in E Yorks.

    Cheers

    If you don't get any takers consider splitting it up...

    I got offered £900 for my old Kondek (Ittok, Cirkus, Lingo) but split it across 14 separate eBay auctions and got £1499 (less eBay fees!) for it!

    For example, I believe that the Mission arm is a bit of a cult classic but people may not want the Linn to match.
    Also the market for Linn components is surprisingly large: I sold the plinth, arm, PSU, top plate, motor, outer-platter, sub-chassis/bearing/inner-platter, lid, armboard, hinges, etceteras and got more than a good price for each little bit. I even sold my Linn packaging on it's own and got just under the Linn rrp for that! :eek:

    But above all go to your local supermarket and get some sturdy boxes and then get some polystyrene peanuts to pack it in so that you can post it. There is little point in advertising on the WWW if you expect people to drop by and collect.

    All in my never humble opinion!     :D

    Cheers

    Does that mean that I get first dibs on the 774? Any chance of some pics?
