Anyone had a Sony PS-2251 turntable

I bought the turntable yesterday I had to drive to pick it up. It seems to be in very good shape and sounds good but I haven't had a chance to compare it to any other yet. It seems to be very well built.

Thanks for the responses

I would like to hear from anyone else that has any experince with one. I have seen on some sights that some people think it deserves a better arm any thoughts on that? It has a Stock Sony PUA-113 arm on it that I have not been able to find any information on.

I have received one recently bought via this auction site. I will go on at length at some point, but for now: if you do buy one on line, please make sure the seller knows about the screws to secure the base, and the RED SCREWS underneath the platter are properly placed before it is shipped. Pack and secure the heavy platter separately. Very quiet table-I own one I bought in a thrift store 15 years ago. Arm was never quite right, though.

would this table and a share sme 3009 tonearm be a good buy in this day and age or is a person better off with a newer design that is in the 1000 range? 

Resurrecting this thread in hopes that I can gather additional information on how to ship a 2251 properly. Just won one at auction and want to make sure it arrives without any mishaps. Thanks in advance!

Same rules of shipping for any turntable:  Remove the platter if possible.  Remove the tonearm, if possible.  Make sure any transit screws sometimes used to immobilize a motor that might be spring-loaded, are tightened down.  Then use foam rubber, styrofoam peanuts, etc, and wrap tight.  Double-box if possible.
