US$1,612 is a touch above the median US$1,478, so this reads as a fair but not cheap ask rather than a bargain. It’s also well above the US$891 25th percentile, and nowhere near the US$5,809 75th percentile, so the price is comfortably within the normal used spread for this model family.
What makes it worth a look is the Micro Seiki name: these decks are respected for serious build quality, good speed stability, and a distinctly high-end, no-nonsense engineering approach that still appeals to vinyl buyers today. The original box and manual add real value for collectors and resale, and “imported from Japan” often matters on these tables. The big caveat is the for_parts condition, which is only fine if you’re specifically buying for restoration or as a donor; otherwise, factor in the risk and keep your offer disciplined.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Micro Seiki was a Japanese precision-engineering company founded in Tokyo in 1961. Its heritage is firmly rooted in the analog era, and the brand became especially associated with technically ambitious, well-made turntables and related vinyl hardware rather than a broad consumer-audio catalogue.
The company is best known for turntables, turntable drives, plinths, and tonearms, along with a smaller amount of electrostatic headphone production in its earlier years. Sources consistently describe Micro Seiki as a maker of mid- to high-end and later reference-class turntables, with models that became especially prized by serious vinyl listeners.
In market terms, Micro Seiki sits in the high-end vintage and collector category. It is not a current mainstream audio brand in the modern sense; instead, it is remembered as a legendary specialist name, with its most sought-after decks and components commanding strong interest among analog enthusiasts and collectors.
