PIONEER PL-514

The turntable has been expertly stripped & re-veneered using real Sicilian Walnut. It has been sanded and treated with Danish oil. With a beautiful wood grain, it looks stunning.

I replaced the old cracked lid with a brand new Audio Technica branded lid - no old scratches here - looks fabulous.

The platter edge has been polished.
