yes, i'd like to know too. i would definitely come up with $500 if an LP12 surfaced at that price - even if i had to sell some internal organs. :)

I bought a Linn with the basic power supply, SME III tonearm, NOS Dynavector cart, a crazy amount of extras (carbon brush, kinetic barrier mat, mounting screws, Lube, extra belts and alignment protractor) for $600. I sold the arm for $300, put a rewired rega (total of $150). I had to change the unit from 220 to 120, but that was just a matter of the removal of a cap and new power cord. I bought this guy on ebay, and I think people were scared because it was in the US and wired for 220.
I just saw a LP12 on Audiogon for $650 without arm, and quite a few have gone for cheaper on Ebay. It is not as easy as going out and picking them off the vine, but if you search around, you will be rewarded.
