Kenwood KD-500 with Grace G707 tonearm

Original owner of KD-500 vintage audiophile grade direct drive TT and stunningly gorgeous Grace G707 tonearm.  There are two optional carts you can purchase as well. This turntable was serviced 26 months ago and been in service since, performing flawlessly, I’m only selling as it was the only “vintage” piece in my system.  The turntable and tonearm basically present as new, only the dust over shows some light scratching on the plexiglass top surface, plus a “rub” on the top where it brushes against the rear face when opened.  This TT is a cementitious base unit, meaning it’s very stable and heavy (over 32 lbs).  I unfortunately do not have the original box, so shipping can be done but would prefer local pickup / delivery (San Diego).  If shipped that will be at buyers cost, including packaging. 

Optional carts: Grado Prestige Gold with less than 100 hours on it.  $125 if bought with TT.  The second option is the crown jewel to accompany this tonearm: a Grace F9E with a basically new Soundsmith Ruby OCL (top of the line stylus that was $499 plus tax and shipping, purchased Two months ago!).  Maybe 120 hours on the stylus, it’s an amazing mate to this tonearm and sounds incredible, you will be shocked at the definition, separation, clarity, etc.  I hate to be selling it!  Price if purchased with TT $550.
