AR Turntable XB Model with Empire Cartridge >as is<

Description

Functioning.  I do not have a laser speed tester or strobe disc, but my trained ear is telling me this is within half an RPM or so of being true.  Only 33 1/3 tested.  The motor is a little noisy which gets quieter as it is works, if I had a precision oiler I am sure it would quiet down, it probably has not been run in over 20 years.  There is a small starburst on the rear of the cover.  The stylus on the Empire 2000E/iii cartridge looks new.  Turntables do not ship well, the headshell will be removed and wrapped well, and the unit itself secured and packaged well, but I suggest that only folks who can properly set up a turntable or do some fine tuning and adjusting bid on this.
I have done my best to test and determine the functionality of this unit.
I am an electronics technician who got out of the repair game when the shop I was working at closed down permanently due to CV19.  At this point I can properly test used gear but have no space nor desire to get down to the component level of servicing anymore.  I would rather move as is gear than spend time repairing and then hoping I can get a return on my efforts.
I have described all flaws or operating issues that I was able to witness.
Additional issues may present themselves as the gear heats up, as I only run the gear momentarily for testing purposes.
The photographs are of the actual unit.
Due to the nature of vintage electronics, this item is being sold “as is” for parts only, even if it is in operating condition.
By bidding on this item you agree to the fact that you are bidding on a piece of vintage electronics in “as is” condition.
All sales are final.
