I'm thinking about selling my Presto K8. Restored by Gib @ West-Tech. Fully functional, with new sapphire stylus.
Hate to get rid of it, I'm just too busy right now. And in a financial crisis.
What should I expect to get from this? Ebay?

Is it like this one, half way down the page?
http://www.prestohistory.com/Presto2.html
...advance ball cutter, with two selectable fixed pitch LPI settings, (can this one do inside out cuts?), lead in?, hot looker, if like on web page, above.
Only Presto that interested me, so far. Not in the market, personally, but I think we'd all like to read more details, while the bidding begins. (;
Normally, the price of relics should be somewhat higher than street cost of "born" era... Herschey's bar was bigger, though, when was only 5 cents. Now, costs over 29x? but is a lot smaller and probably tastes less good than, back then, did?
Yours is refurb'd, though, by a pro. {Well played.}
33.333... capable? Reads, "two-speed," on the web page...
Has no built in RIAA encoder, for in case someone were to want to make "portable" disc recordings?
This is still a "whisker," is it? You brush and blow at the chip't off lacquer string, rather than get a positive venturi, down on that swarf, like? "N'ah mean?" Well, one can always update, in the field. But the buyer should be aware of the implications of its operation, unless you are tossing this to pickers, who will worry, or not, over the end user's experience with its stewardship, probably no further than to gain a repeat sale, if not merely to avoid bad reviews.
I'm sorry for your part that this sale needs to be done under financial duress. However, if it works as well as you indicate, you should at least be assured a nice lump of quid by those keener standards.
I can pass on a recommendation from an E.E. that you try a go at a decent 4-figure number as your reserve, but allow bidding at a penny, so as to let the market decide. If someone is serious, he will contact you after you don't sell. Then you can find out who wants this, more..?
Good luck, you might be hearing from me... (; Or someone on this list.
