Realistic SCT-86

Sold or Listed Prices

10 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.

Understanding the market

Half of recorded transactions fall between $39 and $59. 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.

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 10 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is a large enough sample to price against with reasonable confidence, though condition and provenance still move individual units.
