Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct Drive Professional Turntable (not authenticated)

The item presented is a direct-drive professional turntable featuring a silver-colored chassis and a transparent plastic dust cover resting on top. The turntable includes a standard platter with a black slipmat prominently displaying the white 'audio-technica' logo. A tonearm with an attached headshell and a green-stylus cartridge is visible under the dust cover, alongside various controls such as a start/stop button, speed selection buttons for 33, 45, and 78 RPM, a pitch slider, and a target light switch. On the front right corner of the top panel, printed text clearly reads 'audio-technica' and 'AT-LP120-USB Direct Drive Professional Turntable'. Placed on top of the dust cover are paper documents, including what appears to be a quick start guide featuring diagrams and instructions, with one circular paper sheet showing text and model information reading 'AT-LP120-USB Quick Start Guide'. The overall condition shows a significant layer of dust and smudges accumulated across the surface of the dust cover, the slipmat, and the chassis, suggesting it has been in storage or left unused for a period of time. Cords and cables are draped across the top of the unit. The attribution in the name rests directly on the clearly visible printed text and brand logos on the chassis and the accompanying documentation. This electronic audio equipment appears consistent with consumer-grade DJ and listening turntables manufactured in the 21st century.

Based on the provided description, the item appears to be an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct Drive Professional Turntable. From what I can see, the unit bears the branding and physical characteristics consistent with this popular consumer-grade model. However, I cannot evaluate functionality, internal components, or the true attribution from a photo alone; physical inspection and testing would be required. The turntable shows significant dust and smudges, indicating it has been stored or unused for some time. Because of this, the valuation assumes the device is in working order despite its cosmetic state, but the value depends on this being correct. Comparable turntables of this model typically sell in the $100 to $150 range on the secondary market when working but showing signs of wear and needing cleaning. If the unit is non-functional or if the attribution is incorrect, the value would be significantly lower, likely restricted to parts value.
