FOUND!!! MISSING SP-10Mk2 TURNTABLE W/ EPA-50H TONEARM

Postby hypertriode » Tue Nov 29, 2011 8:13 pm

I just found out that the Technics SP-10 Mk2 turntable I demoed at the Hi-Fi show is missing from my inventory. Due to my heavy backlog in repair work and eager that I attend to the piled work, I decided to just leave the equipment that we used in the Hi-Fi show in their boxes and stacked in the bodega. It was just today that I noticed that it was missing because I had to return the tonearm (I borrowed) that I used with it. A huddle with my boys concludes that the box was lost at the loading dock of Dusit during egress.
If anybody has any information whatsoever about its whereabouts please contact me. I am wishing and praying and hoping that someone must have loaded (the box with) it in their trucks by mistake.
Worse, if someone took it on purpose here's the complete information for what's it worth:

Repanted Technics SP-10Mk2 direct-drive turntable in all-acrylic plinth. Comes with detachable dust cover.
Tonearm is Technics EPA-50H with Shure V-15 Type VMR cartridge installed.
No power supply and no feet as they were packed in another box which I have with me.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you Doc! It was inside a very unassuming old Lovan box so I am more inclined to thinking it was taken by mistake.

i think that turntable is good as gone.

1. it's been 2 weeks + since the HiFi show. the person who took that table would have known by now that something that he/she got "by accident" does not belong to them.

2. if it was taken "by accident" by someone, that person would have probably been an exhibitor and would have realized that the item belongs to another exhibitor. would have been easy to post here in WS that he/she accidentally took an item that they don't own. or Tonyboy would have been informed.

3. that kind of table and arm is something to die for. a soul burning in hell is a small price to pay for a Rivoed SP10 and EPA 50H tonearm.

4. the person who took that table knows the value of that item; that person knew that what he/she obtained is a "steal". if the thief is not into the hobby, they wouldn't know the value of that gadget, much less who to sell it to --- so why bother.

5. i wouldn't expect to see that table, or its parts, to crop up as a For Sale item in on-line forums or in the papers. it is a one of a kind item that is too unique for interested buyers to not know who it belongs to. maliit lang ang mundo ng audio dito sa 'Pinas.

6. even if a reward is offered, it is most likely that the person claiming the reward is the culprit. and the culprit would be too devious to fall into such a trap.

the sooner you accept the fact that some people who you consider friends or seemingly decent individuals are capable of stealing from you, the quicker you will be able to get over it.

but sometimes, miracles do happen. but i wouldn't bet on it.

i'm sorry if i sound like a curmudgeon but sometimes it is good to temper hope with the plain and unsalted realities in life.

I hope nobody has come forward yet because the person who mistakenly loaded the box into his vehicle has not gone through his stuff yet and still not aware of the situation.

How many SP 10 Mk2 are known to exist among audiophiles in the Phils?

This is very unfortunate for Rene.. I saw that table and sat for a while listening to it and extremely admiring it.
I hope Rene recovers it, though chances are slim for it to ever come out.. Good Luck Rene..

I'm hoping and praying for the best for you bro. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Would your boys know who were loading at the same time as you? That would narrow down the search quite a bit.

For those of you that took a lot of pics, it would also help Bro Rene to identify who were using Lovan racks. That would give him a short list of folks to call too.

Good luck bro!

I'm with Zenaudio on this one. Dharma (i.e., good begetting good), given the good will you've generated over the years among audiophiles, is on your side, Rene. Karma (i.e., bad deeds begetting bad) will ultimately get the culprit. Morality, as Sting would philosophize, is ultimately logical.

Hoping against hope that this is the situation dimfer; though I'm ready for kabubi's "plain and unsalted reality" that I will never recover it.

Thanks for the comforting words guys, "Friends in Audio" indeed! :)

The Technics SP-10mk2 is at the Lost & Found room at Dusit.
Thanks to Tony Salvador who personally know one of the administrators at the hotel.
Thanks for the follow-up too Tonyboy!
All's well that ends well! :clap:
