I'm NotSoPissedOffNowCosMyHiFisUnpacked.
Just finally parted with my Revolver Rebel that I get back in the 80's
It did me a great turn partnered with my 1st DL103 (grey one) which also went to EsCo. Finally bit the dust when the head snapped off the linn arm due to poor packing during a house move about 7 years ago. Finally got round to letting it go last week as spares repairs on eBay.
Was an entry level deck, but it was great. Suited my budget perfectly at the time

It's all down to opinion Mr Bird. There are two on your list both of which i have owned and wouldn't give house room to. However tripe is not a word i would use for them. None of our likes and dislikes are to be taken seriously, they are just that. our own personal preference. Have a great day

Best Decks for you/early 80's!
I've only owned three. A Thorens, Linn Sondek and an original biscuit tin Systemdek. If I was ever to get a turntable again it would be the Systemdek for the looks and good performance. For sheer musicality the Linn wins hands down.

I really should say the Voyd and Valdi , being two of my favorite decks of the 80's .
The Gyro wasn't bad either .
