Gauging interest in a 2008 Continuum Caliburn

Hello All,

 

I have been contacted by the widow of a fairly well known audio manufacturer and importer.  She has asked for assistance with selling a 2008 Model Caliburn.  It was used at a few CES shows from 2008 until 2012.  It is stored in the flight cases and there are also some additional boxes with the wood shelves, vacuum motor etc.  it will be a lot of work to unpack, set up and test the 'Table.  IT includes the arm, and optional base.  Unsure if it has the  Minus K platform.   I am really at this point gauging the interest level in a world class but older 'Table.

 

Located in an Atlanta area suburb.

Realistically reach out to the resellers that are in business of shipping, testing, and restoring the device.  They also would have knowledge of the customer base that would be interested.  I would expect they would have to make an offer at a serious discount to cover the work and carrying cost of the item

Thanks to all who have replied.  The crux here is that I am going to be the one to do the set up, connection, testing and show the 'table in operation for any potential buyers.  This post is intended to gauge interest before I list the 'table for sale.  On the Audiogon platform.  Just getting it out of the flight cases and assembling it is a 2-3 person job and will likely take a day.  I will contact Continuum with the details to see if they can advise if the Minus K platform was ever fitted and ask if they can provide a set up manual.

A turntable that expensive by a small manufacturer that has been discontinued is a very hard sell. Hi Fi gear is a terrible investment. The more you spend the worse it gets.

True enough. I’m happy that all my gear is vintage and appreciating in value.
