I am proud to offer a virtually new Palmer 2.5 turntable in birch finish, complete with PSU and strobe unit and all accessories. The unit also includes an Audio Origami PU7 tonearm in brushed silver. The current list price for this kit is $11,990.

My customer is the original owner of this turntable. He purchased it new earlier this year from an authorized dealer and played the deck approx. 50 hours before deciding to go in a different direction. This turntable is in perfect condition and looks absolutely like new - no dings, dents or scratches. The cartridge isn't even broken in yet. As you can see from the photos, this turntable is stunning and is very well constructed. The fit and finish leaves nothing to be desired.  

Local pickup (L.A. area) is preferred but I will ship to all 50 states and Canada. The turntable includes the original wood shipping crate and can be shipped safely and securely without risk of damage. 

From Paul Seydor's review in The Absolute Sound, Nov. 2013:
This is one turntable that I cannot recommend highly enough, especially for those in search of a set-it-up-and-forget-it record-playing component that at the same time allows for a very fine degree of precision in adjustment and very high performance. I wish I had more time to try it with other arms—I’d especially like to hear it with a Graham Phantom—but in saying that, I have no wish to suggest I was in any way dissatisfied with the combination as loaned.

And one final point before I sign off: I really love the classic aesthetics of the Palmer, the clean, simple lines, the reasonable size (you can lift it without fear of hernia), and most especially the use of wood. I can’t tell you how tired I am of intricate space-age designs made from gleaming glass and polished metals and acrylics that look fabulous when they first come out of the box, then get dusty, smudged, and scratched and require more time to clean than a Viking stove (with far greater risk of damaging something). I am reminded of Thoreau at Walden finding three pieces of limestone that struck his fancy. He brought them home and placed them on his desk. When a few days later he discovered to his horror that he had to dust them, he reckoned their decorative value wasn’t worth the effort and tossed them out. The Palmer looks as good as it sounds, requires almost zero maintenance, and with an all-wood plinth, doesn’t show dust, is easy to clean, and its soft, warm, glowing beauty will look as good in ten years as it does now. That’s my kind of pulchritude.
