This were by far the best buy i ve made in the states. They are now out of production, and highly sought after sophisticated pieces of equipment. In my honest opinion they are eternal due to their technology and functionality. First introduced in the 70's lasting all the way to today without any replacement. These specific ones were Japan made and prob are the best pieces from the various existing lines over the years. Covers are included, overall very well taken care of and always maintained at a home environment. Tone arms replaced and fully serviced. Coils in the center intact no malfunctions whatsoever, please go ahead and any questions you may have. Bid with confidence, been an ebay seller for quite some time and always delivered with satisfaction.
