Anyone had a Sony PS-2251 turntable


I am thinking about buying a Sony PS-2251 turntable. Has anyone here had one and have an opinion good or bad about them.

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.

Great, thanks lewm, I had mistakenly gleaned that the 2251 needed extra measures outside of what you laid out. 

 

Appreciate the reply

I would not know whether there’s anything special about shipping a 2251. If I were you I’d download the owners manual from Vinyl Engine or some other reliable source, and read about unpacking, which is the reverse of shipping.
