FS: Fairchild / Rek-O-Kut M5pro Transcription Turntable Pkg

[lofiaudio]

Letting go of a couple nice , fully functional lathes to fund a presto 8d. Asking $6500 for this incredible vintage conversation piece Fairchild Transcription Turntable with ROK M5pro spiraling overhead and Audax head (which is what originally came stock with these, not the 1d pictured here). As pictured in incredible sea foam green paint! New NOS bodine motor and start capacitor, plus Fisher microscope which isn't installed yet. Willing to deliver anywhere in the southeast us or can arrange crating and shipping for a buyer farther away. Thanks in advance!

Ok gents, live on eBay now. Buy it now listed $5950. If anybody wants to talk or make a deal I'll give priority to fellow trolls unless / until it gets bid on. Thanks fellas!

Now that didnt take too long to offload! Was drooling over this lathe from the very first time i saw you post it sometime back,very fair price as well.
Some of the shitty things about living in the isolated countryside of Taiwan,hard n very expensive to hook up with gear n transport over to the island!
Maximum respect,

It is a sexy machine for sure. Wouldn't mind using it for my 6N overhead!

Ok Guys, I sold this to a Gentleman in Brooklyn, and after I met him in person, demonstrated the lathe and he took it back up to NY it has begun to have an issue on the 33rpm speed. Something must have come loose in the gear transfer box and the 33 speed raises uncontrollably until it hits 78. 45 and 78 are still rock solid. I've been trying to help him troubleshoot and offered to pay to have someone look at but he doesn't want to, just wants to return it outright.

SO... Any mechanically minded trolls in the NE USA want a sweet deal on an incredible museum quality lathe? Just need to pick up in Brooklyn ASAP. If anyone wants in I'd do it for one of you trolls $4,500 all in (OBO). Fairchild Transcription Turntable, Rek o Kut spiraling overhead, Audax head, with Fischer microscope and lots of cool brochures, sales catalogs and more from Rek-o-kut.

Again, needs to be picked up from previous buyer in Brooklyn, NYC asap. So hit me up if any interest!

PM me for lots of pics and link to video from buyer of the lathe in operation demonstrating all speeds and issue with 33rpm. Could be something as simple as a pin or screw that came loose.

Lathe is currently being picked up in NYC, crated and shipped back to me in Atlanta. So, it's back to being available for pickup here or I can meet you in the SE us states somewhere. The good news is it will already be crated up so it will be ready to ship! Thanks again for looking.

[missedout]

so this is still available but has a problem at 33 1/3 RPM?

It has been sold. Sorry for the confusion, I meant to update the thread.
