    A well sorted and cared for Michell Tecnodec, I rate it a conservative 8/10 condition mostly due to the fact that the plinth and unicover are made of high gloss plastics. This one is decked out with the tecnoweight (with both heavy and light weights), michell clamp, VTA arm adjuster, and unicover. Stock power supply, the upgrade will cost you almost as much as the table! The belt is a genuine Michell and has approximately 6 months old with minimal use. Arm is a Rega RB250 with the stock wiring.

    This table has been my darling for the past several months, and with a new Thorens project on my hands, I will be needing some funds to keep myself going. It is an absolute joy to use and to listen to. The bearing well is also fresh with oil.

    The RB250 is a medium mass tonearm compatible with a lot of different cart options. Shown is a new Denon DL-110 cart (has original box) with at most 5 hours on it; if you want the cart I can include it for $160.

    The table does not have the original packaging but I will commit to taking my time in packaging to make sure the plinth is not able to move around, is separate from the platter, and that the arm is separate the plinth and has the weight removed. The table is very easy to setup and will bring many more years of enjoyment.

    This will most likely end up getting shipped in separate boxes, if you've bought anything from me before please note I may need some extra time to get this one out than the usual.

    My asking price, without the shown cart, is $900 shipped and insured via FedEx ground CONUS. More than willing to listen to offers for friends, no added paypal fees necessary.

    As a Hydraulic Reference owner, I have a soft sport for Michell. Nice deck. I've actually been to the little "factory"... these things are truly hand made.

    Good luck with the sale and the new project.

    Thanks Chris! I'd bet this should be a better buy than the Regas/Debut's in the price range though I can't say for sure. I kinda tried to go with a Marantz TT15S1 before this and the Tecnodec is just plain superior.

    Big recommendation is the Rega arm needs a medium compliance cart and light trackers like Shure's should be avoided. Never got to dry the DL-103's but the Tecnodec kicked the most ass with an AT33ptg/ii.

    Wish I could justify keeping it but it won't survive in my house anymore with kiddos, I side-graded this table to a needs some work vinyl nirvana deck.
