I assembled this from used parts I owned. When shipping, if you have experience attaching the needle, I will remove the needle and ship it in the case it was sold in. If you are unsure about attaching it, I will ship it with the needle attached. Please let me know after purchase. The needle has been used for approximately 50 hours or less. I believe the needle tip is still in good condition. As you can see in the photos, it is slightly bent to the right. The sound is fine. The shell is Technics and I cleaned it as much as possible. There is some white residue on the rubber in the arm mounting space that I couldn't remove. The lead wires are Audio-Technica. There are pliers marks, but I think it's at an acceptable level. I have inserted a homemade silicone rubber for noise reduction between the cartridge and the shell. (Please remove it if you are concerned.) I used new hard polycarbonate washers for the cartridge mounting. The overhang gauge is not included. Please purchase only if you are absolutely certain that this condition is acceptable, and you agree to no returns, refunds, or complaints. I will not negotiate discounts. Likes are welcome. I will lower the price if it doesn't sell. This is a used item. Please purchase only if you understand this. Returns and refunds are not possible. 【Request】 I try to ship as quickly as possible, but shipping may only be on Thursdays due to work commitments. Also, I may be late in responding due to work. I cannot offer discounts. Shipping will be via Takkyubin Compact. I will ship in recycled cardboard. Thank you for your understanding.
