FOR SALE
I have a Connoisseur BD1 deck, built from a kit, in a homemade plinth, no lid, for sale. There is a Hadcock HD228 tonearm, Sugden SAU2 tonearm and various construction and set-up instructions and protractors, nuts, bolts, washers, allen keys , etc. in the lot. There is also a AKG P7E cartridge/stylus and another unidentified cartridge, condition of both unknown.
This equipment has remained unused and stored for 30 years or more. On testing the turntable still works so the belt is still intact. No doubt it would be necessary to remount and set up the tonearm(s)
I am open to offers for this equipment, which I would prefer to sell as a lot.
I'm based in the northwest of England, Manchester area.

I get the idea that this will be a good project table for someone near given how much the tonearm has appreciated. Really nice arm, table is better than what its modest apperarance would suggest.

I am very interested in the SAU2 tonearm. Do you still have it. How much would you have to have. Have a very nice night!

Hi Mark. Yep, still got it. I'm not sure what to ask. I'd really like it to go to someone who would appreciate it and use it. How does £25 sound, plus postage? Let me know.
Cheers, Gab.
Cheers, Gab.
Hi Gab,
I will absolutely use and appreciate it. My address is 250 Devonshire Drive, New Hyde Park, NY 11040. I would pay via PayPal if that is OK with you. Let me know what the total with shipping is and your PayPal and I'll initiate payment. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, can you send me a picture of the arm? Thanks so much for your reply. Have an excellent day!

Good evening Gab,
Any idea what the total would be with shipping to New York for the SAU2 tonearm? Any pictures you can share? Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Mark. I meant to reply yesterday but events overtook me. I'll get back to you today. I need to check postage.
Mark. See attached photos as requested. I've checked postage costs and these amount to £25.75, more than I'm charging you for the arm. So total cost to you £50.75. BTW I've found a Connoiseur metal headshell which I'd forgotten about so that would be included. Let me know if you are happy to proceed. Cheers Gab
Hi Gab,
I would absolutely like to proceed. I’d like to pay you a bit more because you’ve been so helpful and gracious. I’ll do 75 British pounds, or the equivalent of $100 USD. Let me know what your PayPal ID is and I’ll send the money today. Have a great rest of the day!
