Turntable in perfect condition. Gloss black finish. Drive belt recently replaced. Audio-Technica VM95E stylus in like-new condition. Audio-Technica headshell. Equipped with a USB output for connection to a sound card and two phono outputs: one standard and one pre-amplified.
The TEAC TN-300 is a solid, well-liked entry-level belt-drive deck, and this asking price lands a touch above the going used market but not by much. With a median of US$267, a 25th percentile of US$218, and a 75th percentile of US$279, US$291 is slightly ambitious rather than a steal.
What makes it worth a look is that it’s an easy recommendation for someone wanting a decent all-in-one starter turntable with a built-in phono stage and straightforward setup. If the cartridge, dust cover, and auto-return/arm behavior are all in good shape, the extra US$20-ish over the upper quartile is not crazy. I’d mainly want confirmation that the belt, stylus, and platter action are healthy before paying at this level.

TEAC Corporation stands as a pillar of Japanese audio engineering, founded in August 1953 by Katsuma Tani, a former aeronautics engineer with an uncompromising vision for sound reproduction. The company emerged from the merger of two entities—the Tokyo Television Acoustic Company (1953) and the Tokyo Electro-Acoustic Company (1956)—consolidating under the TEAC name in 1964. From its inception, TEAC pursued a singular mission: to deliver authentic sound to music enthusiasts through technically superior products, a philosophy that has guided seven decades of innovation.
TEAC built its reputation primarily on magnetic recording equipment, establishing dominance in open-reel tape decks and cassette machines throughout the 1960s and beyond. The company's flagship TD-102 stereo tape recorder, launched in April 1957, gained international recognition and set the standard for the industry. Beyond tape machines, TEAC expanded into turntables, CD players, and digital audio components, while simultaneously establishing TASCAM in 1971 as its professional recording subsidiary—a brand that became synonymous with studio-grade equipment worldwide.
Today, TEAC occupies a distinctive position bridging vintage collectibility and contemporary hi-fi. The brand commands respect among analog enthusiasts and professional engineers for its legacy of precision engineering, while its modern Esoteric line serves the high-end market. TEAC products appeal to discerning buyers who value heritage, build quality, and sonic authenticity over mass-market appeal, positioning the brand as a respected mid-to-premium player with particular strength among those seeking vintage and analog-focused solutions.
