This is the turntable that was reviewed in 10Audio and given a 10LP, Perfect 10 award. I purchased it from the reviewer in December of 2008, who then purchased another Cosmos in a different color.The turntable is in perfect, optimal, 10/10 working condition. It just came back to me from Sota where they did a complete inspection and tune-up. The plinth and motor/vacuum pump both look near new, except that the turntable came back to me with a 1.5 inch hairline scratch near the belt cover, which is located at the rear. I covered it up with a furniture repair marker. The bottom photo shows the scratch (photo taken with a flashlight shining on the scratch). The dustcover is in good condition, no cracks, but it does have some light scratches. The Reflex clamp has paint wear on the edges and the handle, and a nick or two. Comes with a Cosmos armboard cut for a Triplanar tonearm. Also included is a Composite armboard, also drilled for a Triplanar. Either armboard could possibly be re-drilled for another tonearm since there are only three small holes in the armboard. Additional armboards may be purchased from Sota. There are three boxes to ship. The turntable will ship in a wood crate that Sota provided to me. The motor/vaccum pump will ship in a separate factory box. The dustcover will ship in a separate non-factory box (the original box was damaged when it was shipped to me). Payment by money order, certified bank check, wire transfer, or Paypal. If using Paypal, please add 3%.
