Connoisseur BD103 Rosewood New Grado Gold w/ Hadcock GH228 Uni-Pivot

Beautiful rosewood Connoisseur BD 103 belt drive turntable with a Hadcock GH228 uni-pivot tonearm. This turntable has been tested and cleaned by our tech and is in good working order. The wood plinth and dustcover are in good cosmetic condition as seen in the photos. The table also has a new Grado Prestige Gold 1 cartridge. The Grado Gold 1 is a step below the Reference Platinum cartridge, and it works quite well with this turntable and arm.  It includes the external power supply as seen in the photos. Connoisseur was a British company that stopped being in production in the 1970s and this BD103 is a hard to find gem from their belt driven turntable line.

This turntable will ship with the tonearm removed as it likely would not reach it's destination in one piece otherwise. Please be prepared to install or have a professional technician install the tonearm.
