The legendary vintage 1986 AR ES-1 audiophile turntable with Shure V15V-MR cartridge in excellent condition. The turntable is 100% complete, has no issues, everything work as should. The plinth’s front and two sides made of solid cherry, the top and rear panels are veneered. It’s equipped with fixed cone shaped spikes, therefore the turntable needs to be set up on leveled surface. See pictures for more details. We’re glad to help with basic setup.

Vintage 1986 -the legend- AR ES-1 audiophile turntable with Shure V15V-MR cartridge in excellent condition. The turntable is 100% complete, has no issues, everything work as should. The plinth’s front and two sides made of solid cherry, the top and rear panels are veneered. It’s equipped with fixed cone shaped spikes, therefore the turntable needs to be set up on leveled surface. I’ll do an extensive presentation using my fairly good system, a NAD 7020e receiver, small Polk tower speakers with Infinity non-powered subwoofer. See pictures for more details.

Original AR – XA TURNTABLE with Shure M93E Phono Cartridge & photocopy of manual. Unit has just been serviced. New belt, lube, De-Oxit, speed tested, played, etc. No platter mat (I used a cheap foam rubber one in order to test it). It Definitely needs a mat. There is a small hole in the top near the tonearm (see pics). There is damage to one corner of the oiled walnut base (see pics). Overall a nice, simple turntable at a reasonable price.
