Michell Giro Deck and Keith Monks KMAL Record Cleaner


A friend of mine is downsizing and wants to sell both for 2,500. I know they have been taken very good care of and haven't been played in quite a while. He said he oiled the bearings on the turntable and cleaned a record with the record cleaner after replacing the pump, and said the record player is ready to be hooked up. He also has 3,000 records he wants to sell, most of which were only played once on a Thorens turntable. I think this is one hell of a deal. Am I mistaken?

Hmmmmm,

Nice opportunities, just think thrice:

You might not want 3,000 lps, that’s a lot to transport; store, and how many will be at a height that is easy to find/play without bending or on a step stool?

Are they all your musical taste?

I would not want to bother with which are the ’best’ or more valuable, just find music you will play, and a number of others you are curious about.

I have too many LPs, now it’s one in/two out.

I like a ’good deal’, but only if it is something I have decided (for myself) that I wanted, don’t fill yourself up with good or great deals of stuff you don’t really want.

If the LP's have been taken care of, and only played 1 or 2 times, you don't need an US cleaner.

I asked him what year they were built and he said that he had no idea.  That's kind of strange. 🤔

Not strange at all, not to know the age of stereo equipment. That's especially true of high quality vintage gear. That's one reason that "original owner" equipment usually sells at a premium.
