REGA PLANAR 2 – GRACE 707 TONE ARM  - CLASSIC ENGLISH BELT DRIVE TURNTABLE

The Rega Planar 2 is a belt drive turntable, it is teak framed with a slate base mounted on 3 substantial rubber feet.  The platter is a heavy plate glass fitted with a good quality rubber mat.  This is a completely manual turntable, the only control is a power switch.  The turntable is generally set to play 33.3 rpm records, it can play 45 rpm records but only by manually shifting the belt. The turntable is in very good condition, clean and well maintained.  It has recently had the drive belt and motor suspension belt replaced.

This turntable is fitted with a Grace 707 tone arm which has a lever to raise and lower it. The arm is fitted with the original Grace cartridge, the stylus is a Goldring equivalent of the Grace stylus. The stylus tip is in good condition but its cantilever has suffered some lateral distortion.  The turntable comes with a grey Perspex dust cover that has been badly damaged on the right front corner. 

The Rega Planar 2 has a reputation as a very good turntable and is a very cool piece of classic English stereo equipment.  This is a genuine one owner item, it has been well maintained and used generally used very carefully.  It works well and still sounds very good even given the age of the cartridge and stress experienced by the stylus.  An aficionado with a more critical ear than me may consider upgrading the cartridge and stylus.

Included is the original “hints and tips” sheet shipped with the turntable.  There is no packaging or box included.
