Kenwood L07D turntable and control unit


Just a few questions regarding this nice dd turntable, hope someone can help ...

-It's worth to buy NOS L07D turntable without tonearm and power supply?

-Any chance to find working Power Supply Unit for this deck?

-There is additional armboard for 2nd tonearm which is good, but what about armboard for main tonearm on the right? It is possible to use 1st armboard for different tonearm? Saec or EPA100 can fit?

-And finally what is the market price for such NOS deck without power supply and without tonearm?

thanks

Yogiboy, believe it or not but I mean New Old Stock, never used item from the storage of old shop, powe supply missed! But the turntable is like new (without tonearm). Several NOS cartridges also came from that shop storage, some very rare stuff.

Dgarretson, for complete unit $2700 is probably very good price, i've seen the one from HK and i think it's overpriced. Anyway both of them comes with tonearm and power supply at $2700-4800. I guess the deck without power supply and arm must be much cheaper (as parts) if it's not easy to find power supply in working condition quickly.

Lewm, thank you very much for your comment, i'm waiting for pictures from the seller to check the armboard for main arm.

And BTW my current turntable is Technics SP10mk2 in very good working condition, in teak plinth and with several tonearms.

Here is a picture on my current deck: http://cs624027.vk.me/v624027872/15f43/8t64KRLvHo4.jpg

If the power suppy for Kenwood L07D is impossible to find it can be too complicated to ask someone to made one? Do you know any reputable technicians who can do the job? The original (used) power suppy would be a better solution.
Chakster, check and see if the L07D comes with the pod base for the L07J tonearm. If it does, then it is feasible to fabricate a platform with a peg that slips into the stock arm base to which may be mounted any tonearm with a surface-mounted base and lateral discharge of wires. I have done this for my Trans-Fi Terminator and can see potential for others such as Talea, Schroeder, and early model Dynavector. This arrangement preserves the direct connection between the motor housing and the arm base that Lew applauds as a fundamental property of the L07D.
Dgarretson, i just checked the pictures and YES the chrome color metal pod is included with lock and vta on the fly mechanism.
