---------------------------------
Sorry, but I don't have any service information for this reproducer but Technics info is widely available.
Both turntables, power supplies/controllers and plinths are modular and can be unplugged from the main cabinet.
These are accessed from the front hinged down control panel.
The white console is in a nice clean condition.
If studied closely there are a few little marks here and there consistent with studio use but nothing major.
Please examine my photos for general cosmetics.
The cabinet dimensions are - W-96cm D-67cm H-102cm.
As this unit is heavy (approx 78Kg on castors), I would appreciate personal collection please.
However, should you wish to have this unit shipped inside or outside the UK - please contact me for a quotation.
I would appreciate your shipping inquiry prior to bidding - thank you.
Should you have further questions, I will be pleased to answer.
Thanks for looking and best wishes.
