Sold or Listed Prices
4 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.
Understanding the market
Half of recorded transactions fall between $350 and $600. The full range runs 2.7× from lowest to highest, which is normal for used equipment where condition, included accessories, and service history vary between units.
Over the last twelve months this model averaged $448 across 3 recorded sales, 104% higher than the preceding twelve months.
What buyers should know
These need the most scrutiny of any category. Ask about head wear, whether the pinch roller and belts have been replaced, and whether the deck has been aligned and calibrated recently. Service parts are increasingly scarce and specialist labour is expensive.
This range reflects 4 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. Few units of this model reach the open market, which is itself useful to know: thin trading means published prices move further on any single transaction, and it usually means less negotiating room when one does appear. Treat this as an indication of where the model trades rather than a settled valuation.
