Excellent used condition Acoustic Research AR-XB turntable. There are a few nicks to the wood but everything functions as it should. Also there are some scratches to the dust cover but there are no cracks. There is an installed Audio-Technica AT-VM95SH on the OEM headshell. It sounds good paired with this turntable. This is a used cartridge so I cannot say how close to new or worn out the stylus is. I have had it for a year and have used it less than 200 hours. Your mileage may vary. Platter and sub-platter will be removes along with the headshell. Please read my other packing feedback entries.
