Great site for pics of vintage T/Ts and old radiograms!!

Some interesting decks there Marco.

But where is the Collaro 2020 rim drive deck? - a serious rival to the Garrard 301 in its day. I used to have one, after my Garrard SP25. I removed the awful Collaro arm and replaced it with an SME 3009. And then I discovered the Thorens TD124/II .....!

Talking of which, I just love the photos of the Thorens fitted with an EMT 997 ("Banana") arm, even though it is using some usurper of a cartridge mounted in an ADC headshell! And the one of the Thorens fitted with the Acoustical "All-balance arm" (Jobo). Nice!

Hi Barry cant help with a 2020 but just finished fettling this 4200 for my daughter,

My 2020 looked very similar to that - it too had 4 speeds. It was originally cream coloured, but I had it resprayed semi-matt black, like yours. The only fettling I did was to replace the switch capacitor and 'tweak' the motor suspension - apart from replacing Collaro's own arm with an SME.

Seems fettling has the same meaning to us both , as that's all I've done to this, fitted a Grace 940 instead of an SME though
