Im serverly thinking about grabbing me some 1210's/1200's but looking at Ebay and such kinda scares me as some items look a wee bit shabby to say the least. Dont wanna get ripped off> Wheres a reputable place to pick some up or anyone on here selling any?
cheers
The price seems to have gone up considerably on ebay recently... I was looking at selling mine last summer and a decent set of 1210's struggled to fetch £300. I've seen a few pairs recently go for £450+
As for buying, have you tried putting your postcode in ebay and doing a local search? I'd advise going to look at them before you part with your hard earned as it's difficult to tell with pictures. Make sure you check there is no 'play' in the tonearm, i.e. the assembly is nice and tight when clipped into the rest. Other things to check for are the timing lights on the side of the platter match up with the correct pitch settings, i.e. the pitch control hasn't been mucked about with or doesn't need calibrating. Also, the phono leads are original and earth cables are intact.
Have you tried the loot? Also, cash converters / cash generators usually have a few pairs in... Not sure where you live put there's plenty of them sorts of shops round here... all the classy towns have them lol
Good Luck
