krusto Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Item: Ariston RD-40 Turntable Location: Bendigo (VIC) Price: $500? OBO Item Condition: VGC Reason for selling: No longer needed Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Here I have a great example of the Ariston RD-40 Turntable. It has been stored away in its box for over 25yrs with basically no use prior to that. I have given it a decent clean and she fires up perfectly. Dead quiet. Wouldn't hurt to purchase a new belt. The only real "wear", not that you can call it that, is a bit of surface scuff on the alloy platter, but I think that would buff up well with some cream and a dremel. Has the original box, weight and unused alignment tool. Does not include a tonearm. Hopefully someone will find some good use for it. Edited November 18, 2019 by krusto 4

Flash Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 That’s a good platform for anyone looking for a project. A look on google images shows some funky ideas. If I were able, I’d be tempted myself. GLWTS!

Gordon Macfarlane Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 That is a nice example. Sold and setup a few of these back in the day and serviced one here in Perth a couple of times. They can be a wee bit hard to setup for maximal performance but they are worth the effort. If anyone wants any advice please feel free to ask. 3
