Understanding the market
Half of recorded transactions fall between $125 and $325. 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 $123 across 3 recorded sales, 62% lower than the preceding twelve months.
What buyers should know
Confirm the gain and loading options match your cartridge type — a moving-coil cartridge into a moving-magnet-only stage will not work. Ask whether loading is adjustable and whether any internal jumpers are documented.
This range reflects 5 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is enough to establish a working range, but not enough to be precise — treat it as a guide rather than an appraisal.
