FS: vintage Pioneer turntable (collection SE London)

Only selling as it's surplus to requirements. Everything works.
Cart included but new stylus will be required.

I've decided to sell my second TT, a Pioneer PL-12D from c.1973 ('Made in Japan') as it's just sitting there unused.
Professionally serviced by Brett at HEAR in Lewes and upgraded with tonearm rewired and modern power cable.
Smoke Grey lid has various light marks but no cracks.
Lovely dark brown wooden plinth.
Ortofon cart (new stylus required).
I still have the Ortofon VM33 mkII it came with originally.
£280 collected from CR0 (or RH16, Sussex if I must).

Strictly collection only

Will add some pics shortly.

how much will a regular new stylus be nothing posh?

A "nothing posh" stylus will likely be sub-£20.

Amazon will do the Audio Technica VM95E for £42 atm (I had the VM95ML on my other TT for 2 years of semi-intense usage).
I'm not on comm and there are other brands out there (Goldring, Ortofon, etc.).

The good thing with the tonearm (I think) is that it gives you the option to fit a DJ-style headshell should you be tempted.

I've also edited the description (not a Shure cart but Ortofon).

I cleaned the tip of the stylus today and played it again. It honestly sounds not that bad. I'm sure it's sure some life left in it.
This upgraded deck has got the potential to make any system sing.
Come and get it!

£280 collected (CR0).
