That's a very fair price! You must be thrilled with it. When I bought my 202 over 20 years ago it was the only machine I played for almost 2 years. I couldn't get enough of it. The build and finish quality as well as the sound quality is all exceptional. You know you have a seriously high quality piece of kit when you're operating it.
Yes, I thought it was a good price. And since I live in The Netherlands I could pick it up by myself, so no shipping and duty costs!Steve wrote: Wed Mar 19, 2025 6:03 pmThat's a very fair price!

I have an oil-bath one with the original key. I sometimes use a gold-plated brass orthophonic reproducer for it and its sound becomes much clear.CarlosV wrote: Wed Mar 19, 2025 3:27 amThat's nice! I have one as well, but the version Steve mentioned with the oil bath motor and double stay. I installed a HMV 5 soundbox, the same as the US orthophonic. It sounds better than the 5a/b.
