To take up the space in the top, he used what looks like some sort of basket weaving. The platter retainer clip was missing; so, the platter was flopping around inside the record player. When I fired it up, I had no sound and when I opened it, I discovered that the speaker wires were disconnected and the tubes were about to fall out of their sockets. Correcting these faults didn't help; so, either something was damaged in shipment or he was one of those sellers that considered "needle talk and platter rotation" as "working."
I don't understand why you talk about the seller here like this, yet you gave him positive feedback on eBay. Doesn't that just reward his incompetency and put other people that read your feedback at risk when they may consider buying from this seller?
