That's rather nice.
What is interesting is that this is based around a Japanese-made Numark that pre-dates the Chinese OEM efforts they crank out now. There was a range of three models that were actually decent turntables - the top model was the TT-2400 and it came fitted with a digital speed readout and a special headshell with a flip-down target light built into it. The arm was a special version of the Jelco SA-250 and had a 5 pin headshell mounting socket - the fifth pin carried power for the illumination lamp. This cost nearly twice the price of a Technics SL-1200 at the time!
When production stopped, the remaining parts apparently went to Vestax and the original PDT series was released not long afterwards.

Oh, believe me, I'm keeping an eye out! Don't seem to be many around, sadly. Seems everyone bought a Technics instead...
