thejt Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Item: Linn LP12 Location: Perth Price: 1600 ono Item Condition: good Reason for selling: small child is now almost ready to destroy everything I own. Best it go somewhere safe. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Early Linn LP12 for sale equipped with Rega RB300 tonearm and Linn Asak moving coil cartridge. I am told that I am the third owner of this beauty with the original owner having it for many decades. The second owner got a newer Linn rather than upgrade. The fluted plinth is in pretty good condition with a few small nicks as seen in the photos. Lid is crack free with only minor swirling. Hinges replaced by myself so are almost new. No idea about the hours on the cartridge but it plays without a hitch and stylus looks very straight. I've put on less than 50 hours personally having only got it right before our child was born. It has been well looked after by all owners and I even have the original documents. Bonus shim for the tonearm in case you need to raise the height to accommodate a different cartridge. Happy for inspections for anyone in Perth. Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved. 1
Gremrock Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Don't sell it just put a junk cartridge on for a few years and teach bub to use it properly. That's what we plan to do with ours, teach them to respect and appreciate the gear :).

I put a fence around the stereo when the little one was crawling everywhere and it worked well. 1
thejt Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 Thanks guys, apart from the worry about it getting damaged I am finding it difficult to get time to listen to a fully manual table. Picked up a simple one with auto return to use for the next few years already.
davidSun Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Nice. Pre Valhalla and pre nirvana. I’d buy it if i were in WA.

Vichy Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 What is the serial number ? Can you add another photo of the plate on the back side ?
thejt Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 Hey Vichy, Serial is 14776. These early ones have it under the platter. Backs blank.
thejt Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 Still available, anyone got a nice direct drive with auto return? I'd consider trades plus or minus cash as applicable.
