FS: presto 1c, Audax H4, Rek-O-Kut M5

I am selling a Presto 1c cutting head (500 ohm), an Audax H4 cutting head (also 500 ohm), and a ROK M5 16" overhead (pics attached.) The 1c and H4 both work and are in good shape except that the cloth coating on the leads from the audax is worn away on one of the leads (the inner insulation is fine.) The 1c looks like someone refurbed it at some point, as the damping block is not the original. The M5 has a 150 oi feedscrew, and while it has the brush crystal style head mounting bracket, it has the small end plate that you would attach the vertical head adapter to (which should be easy to make from an angle piece of metal, since that's basically what the ROK adapter was.)

Looking to get $750 for the 1c, $550 for the audux, and $750 for the ROK.

Thanks,

Mark

Audax and M5 are sold. Presto 1C head has been reduced to $675 and now includes a matching transformer so you can use it with a modern 4/8/16 ohm amp.

Hi. I'm interested in Presto 1-C with a transformer. I would like to buy it through eBay for $675. Is this possible? I saw you sell it there. If I make a request on eBay to reduce the price to $675, will you sell it?

Interesting, I didn't know 150 lpi was an option for the M5 (or M5S) - all the old catalogs I've found skip straight from 135 to 210.

It's the only one I've ever come across, I just mainly see 120 or 210 ones. If it had been a crank style I would have swapped out the feedscrew and sold it with a 120 and kept the 150!

The Presto 1-C head already arrived in Russia in Crimea a week ago. He has been working for four days now, writing down orders. Arrived fully working in excellent condition. The resistance turned out to be not 500 Ohms as written on it, but 72 - 75 Ohms. The head worked perfectly without rewinding with the Vinylium Vinylcut VC200 amplifier. He writes simply superbly. Now I have a good head for my 4000 new styluses. The seller is a great person, everything was packed just super.
