SPARE PART only, not the complete turntable!
HISTORY:
In our audio post production business "many moons ago" we used many different types of turntables, from the venerable Technics SP10's, Planar, LP12's, Dual's of various kinds and so many more. I had a personal interest in turntables as well and tended to collect just about any turntable that looked interesting - although in the budget category, this turntable has an interesting feature ...
Multi-play (repeat) function although I never used this, generally you listen to a piece of vinyl once and move on but if ever you wanted to, you could set this turntable to play the vinyl twice, thrice or even for all eternity over and over and over!
I was recently using this turntable, it ran fine EXCEPT I did look into a significant problem it had, it would not turn OFF when the tonearm was at rest! Feeling rested after my holiday, I took a good look at what was going on ... I discovered it had a mechanical issue with the cam and actuating lever and after thinking about it, I decided this turntable was going to go up on the workbench for "the operation" - Yes, it has become an organ donor so that another Q310 can live again!
Yes, there will be more Q310 spare parts being advertised ... look HERE to see them all
