(12" Funk Firm FXR arm and cartridges shown in pictures not included in list price above) Shown with Thomas Schick 12" Transcription tonearm and Oyaide MJ12 aluminum record mat. This riveting SP10 simply must be seen in person to truly appreciate. Actual plinth dimensions - 24" x 23" x 7.5" 8/10 rating only for Technics SH-10E power supply chassis scuffs in accordance to strict Audiogon rating guidelines. The main SP10 MKII turntable rating is closer to a 10/10. Constrained multi layered plinth and (2) blank Panzerholz matching armboards come with a full one year manufacturers warranty. Both table and power supply have been meticulously treated to a no-expense frame off restoration. Our signature Heirloom restoration features an absolutely stunning artisan built high mass constrained layer dampened hardwood plinth. Carefully tuned by ear, our hand crafted plinth is constructed internally of solid Michigan Maple uniquely sandwiched between alternate layers of natural resins and solid Baltic Birch ply then sumptuously wrapped in a full one inch thick Michigan Maple, then topped with multiple layers of automotive black paint and acrylic clear coat. Both solid one inch thick Panzerholz armboards are matched for a perfect fit and mated to the massive plinth using non magnetic machine stainless steel set screws. The Panzerholz armboards will accommodate most nine to twelve inch tonearms. The entire top cast aluminum chassis plate of the Technics SP10 MKII has been striped down and refinished in rich Piano Black. The main outer solid aluminum platter lip has been stripped of any old residue and lightly hand buffed. The SP10's main bearing has been inspected, micro polished, re-oiled and checked for flaws. Residual main bearing noise is eliminated with through the use of a shielded bearing drain block and solid Brass rod then covered with a matching cover plate. Brand New premium Nichicon capacitors were installed in the critical areas of the SH-10E power supply using only Cardas Silver Solder throughout for long life and speed consistency. Brake removal modification has also been performed. Post restoration, our SP10 MKII's main control boards and logic circuits are thoroughly tested for speed stability and proper functioning. Finishing off the entire restoration entails utilizing the proper isolation devices, Stillpoints Ultra AL's and a 13 oz. machined aluminum turntable clamp . This is a reference caliber turntable which easily holds its own with analog front ends costing many thousands more. Rest assured knowing this SP10 MKII and SH-10E power supply will be custom crated and fully insured for safe delivery anywhere in the world.
