Up for sale is a very nice example of a late 70's Kenwood KD-3100 semi-automatic direct drive turntable. It has been cleaned, lubricated, sanitized and set up. It is in perfect working condition. Please read further for details.
This turntable was obtained from the original owner. Careful inspection shows that this unit did not appear to be used very much at all. The lid does show signs of having stuff placed on it (it is just in fair condition) and one of the feet is missing (see pictures, but otherwise the unit is pretty much in pristine condition. The plastic still covers the head shell arm! Please look carefully at all pictures and judge the condition for yourself.
This unit comes with what I believe is the original Pickering NP/AT cartridge in excellent condition. It sounds great and careful inspection of the stylus shows no signs of wear. This is probably because the cartridge had its plastic protection sleeve on it, probably forever!
Also included is a copy for the Owner's Manual.
