Understanding the market
Half of recorded transactions fall between $295 and $395. The full range is tight — lowest to highest is only 1.5×, which suggests these units trade in a well-established band and condition moves price less than it does for many models.
Over the last twelve months this model averaged $280 across 3 recorded sales, 29% lower than the preceding twelve months.
What buyers should know
Ask what state the bearing and belt are in and whether the plinth has been modified. Establish whether the price includes a cartridge and tonearm, since these can represent most of the value. Turntables require careful packing — the platter and counterweight should always ship separately.
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.
