Review on High-Quality Teac TN-300SE-WA Analog Belt Drive Turntable In Walnut Finish by Ryan Thrasher

This was a reduced price item. The notice said that there would be 'some' exterior blemish or scratch. When it arrived, I could find no sign of marring or scratching. but. when I unpacked and set it up, I found the post that holds the turntable arm was broken off! It is plastic, and had extended from a small depression in the cabinet. I studied the situation, not wanting to go thru the process of sending it back and hoping. Finally, I decided to use super glue and electrical tape to stand it back up. It seems to work, as there is no stress on it during ordinary operation. Now, this only was possible because I am experienced in the use of a technical grade of super glue. For most people, this would have required starting over and sending it back. I cannot understand why anyone would have listed an item with a major broken part as just having 'blemishes'. Someone needs to review procedures! The equipment itself, once *I* repaired it, seems to work adequately.
