Technics SL B2 Frequency Control Turntable-Factory Box, packing and instructions

Description

I am cleaning out my shop and need to get rid of some projects that either didn't get done or not even started. My Tube Amp restoration business keeps me too busy to do my own stuff, with rare exceptions.
This is a very nice nice Technics SL B2 turntable. I am the original owner of this from the 70's. It has been my second and back up turntable for 45 plus years. The tone arm lift works perfectly, and returns to rest when you hit stop button, however it doesn't auto return at the end of the album by itself. The manual gives directions for adjusting this, but I don't want to break anything.  includes an older belt and a brand new belt for the drive. These were very simple but very good turntables and this one was always boxed or in a cabinet. It has an Empire 888 cartridge and a perfect needle with no dings or bends. It also includes the original User manual(see if you can find one of those) The only issue with this turntable is one of the hinges got broken. It doesn't stay open by itself. I am going to attempt to fix it (again) but you are buying it knowing this issue. Cover has normal scratches and wear but it is pretty good over all.
I will be packed like it left the factory, and double boxed as the carton has been around for a while.
As with most items like this there is no refund, return or whinning.

Shipping
I will ship as soon as I can after your payment. I use USPS Priority Mail with Delivery confirmation for small items, and Federal Express Home Delivery for larger items.
FED EX CUSTOMERS, IMPORTANT
: please add your PHONE NUMBER to your note in PayPal, as Fed EX requires this for all shipments
. Please note that if you pay on a Friday evening, I CAN NOT ship FED EX until MONDAY AM. If the sale price of an item is over 500 Fed EX requires a signature, I hate it but have no choice.
I want your item to reach you in great shape. I do NOT PROFIT from my shipping charges. Packing delicate items for survival is an art; it is time consuming and expensive. I charge only for the cost of the materials plus the actual shipping company costs. As examples, new boxes cost between -25 and a large roll of bubble wrap costs . Because all the major shipping companies will deny claims for items shipped in used boxes, I use new boxes for expensive and heavy equipment. I also double box any item that has tubes or glass, or is particularly fragile. This adds to the cost, but helps make sure your item arrives to you in the SAME CONDITION it was shipped. Proof of careful packing also facilitates any damage claims. (See below in FEEDBACK for general instructions on what to do if damage occurs during shipping.)
If you choose to ship by FED EX, and provided PayPal with a valid email address, you will receive tracking information from FED EX when your item ships, and communications regarding any issues they run into.
OVERSEAS BIDDERS- Because of negative shipping experiences to overseas addresses, I do not ship outside the US
I leave feedback when you pay for your item. When you receive the item, please unpack it right away, and carefully inspect for damage and function. Please leave positive feedback for me after you have verified this.
If the item is damaged, it is VERY IMPORTANT you keep ALL the packing materials and boxes until the shipper has inspected them.　YOU will need to file a claim with the shipper. In addition, please contact me, since we will need to work together to resolve the claim.
