Finally got one!

[Jonty2547]

I've been looking for one for a while now and thankfully found one and bought it ASAP.
Is the hype worth it? I think so
Not really had time to set it up properly yet, but chucked on a 2M Blue and a ADC headshell and Lou Reed's New York is sounding pretty damn good.
Due to the size of the thing i had to cut a piece of ply just to sit it on!



I did a quick back to back with my 1210 and definitely prefer it. It's also impossibly pretty to look at in comparison

Congratulations Jonty!

Looks very clean indeed..

Shame about the crack in the lid just above the hinge left hand side. Fix it by welding with acetone carefully administered from a syringe. Don't touch the surfaces when wet with the acetone which will flow into the crack and weld it permanently. It will simply evaporate quickly from the surfaces not cracked and not cause damage unless touched or wiped when wet.

Enjoy your "new" classic Pioneer.

Would you like to tell us how much you paid for it Jonty?

It was on PFM, AOS and elsewhere, i'm surprised there wasn't more interest
Still, I'm not complaining

It was Proggy again selling everything he sees as having any association with me

Nice one Monty, thats some drive from Suffolk to pick up, not surprise it betters the 1210,
is that a fair price for the Pioneer PL71?.

[Jonty2547]

I think so and recall RD saying "if" he sold his it'd be £300+
I mean, where else would you get something as good for that price?
Oh, and i got UPS to collect it for me

Yes, i think you got a good deal, checked the Bay completed listings they range from £300.00'ish to high £500.00 delivered,
well done, wonder what Progmeister is replacing it with.

p.s. shocked at the price of a new lid, £100.00
