Questions people ask about this model
Does the LP120X have a belt to replace?
No. It is direct drive, so there is no belt. If it won't hold speed, look at the speed adjustment or the motor instead.
Is an LP120X a good flip?
It sells steadily, but the top of the range is close to new price, so many buyers just buy new. The profit is in units under £160, or ones with an upgraded cartridge.
What should I check on a used Audio-Technica AT-LP120X?
That it starts and holds speed at 33 and 45, the stylus under a light for bends or wear, the tonearm moves freely, and the dust cover hinges are intact. Try the built-in preamp switch in both positions.
Selling one on
Technics 1200/1210 are gold. Audio-Technica LP120, Rega, Pro-Ject sell well. Suitcase / Crosley style players are worthless.
Remove the platter and counterweight for courier. Prefer collection.
Where this price comes from
This is the range the flipper extension uses for a used Audio-Technica AT-LP120X in working order in the UK. It is a starting point, not a quote: condition, extras, the original box and where you are all move the price, and faulty ones sell for much less.
The condition bands above are the same multipliers the extension applies to a listing. On a live Marketplace listing, flipper checks that range against real sold prices and live eBay listings for the exact model, works out your profit after fees and flags faults the seller mentions. It is free while in testing. Join the testers.
