I know someone that's selling a brand new silver mk5 for 500 sovs no headshell. I just need one at the moment. Can't believe I sold 2 with mixer amp and speakers for sub 400 in 2008 :-(

i thought nothing was needed after mk2, 1200 and 1210 being exactly the same apart from a paint job (plese correct me??))

I think the light is led, a back to zero button, no dip on the tempo at zero and something else to do with the thingy that holds the tone arm?

 

[MiniMarc]

ah yeah what i meant was any features added after mk2 were bells n whistles really

So is 500 a good price? If they were around that new? No warranty mind!

That seems steep - check ebay to see what they are going for

The value of them went up as soon as they were discontinued, not like there's 10000's of the bloody things sat gathering dust is there.

^ cheers Ollie, something good to compare with there. I cannot believe I sold my others (Mk2), to pay for a trip to Ibiza !!!!

Well, finally bit the bullet. I'm en route to buy a pair of 1210 mk2 which are by all accounts mint, used only to test, original boxes and packaging with Stantons.

Wish me luck.

(800 the pair)

I bought mine brand new in 2000 or 2001 and they were £350 each!! 1210 MK2's.....

Never been serviced and still in pristine condition!!! They are without doubt one of the most reliable inventions EVER!!

 

[diver]

Got them home now, they even have that unmistakable new 1210s smell

First thing you do is throw the rubber slipmatt in the bin!!
