I grade visually and (partly) play grade whenever in doubt. Stereo issues on a Linn LP12 with a Lyra Delos cartridge. Mono issues on a Thorens TD135 with a General Electric VRII cartridge; please be aware that this is a true mono Variable Reluctance cartridge, thus playing with a minimum of groove noise and hardly picking up any imperfections that these older mono records frequently have
As I don't have my own professional cleaning equipment, records are not cleaned. Being a keen collector, no doubt you will have your own preferences. In my experience records easily gain a grade with professional cleaning
Payment: worldwide - PayPal
Shipping in new solid custom made LP cardboard
Due to an increasing amount of 'non-delivery' parcels in the past, I have no other option than to send with 'Registered - Track & Trace' services only. No exceptions anymore unfortunately, unless you will explicitly wave my responsibility regarding non-delivery. Records over $500 will only be send insured
Finally: in case you don't agree with my ratings or have any other issue with my listing, please contact me and we shall work it out. I will give full refunds (item price + shipping costs), however the shipping costs for sending the item back is for the buyer unless I have made a significant mistake.
