I picked this little tinker up yesterday. I love it.

Beautiful old-time turntable

Beautiful Steve. No not 'Steve', the TT silly

I use one too. Lovely 'fit and forget' turntable! I like that you can't change the arm on it, the whole package is superbly musical. One thing that I've found that works well is using an ultra-light magnesium headshell if using an MM cart. Adds some agility and air, better bass etc.

...my Technics SL-1210 is in the upstairs store room.

Glad you found one, Steve. Looks like my PL-71 has been reprieved!

Ah! Had assumed it was yours Hugo!

That looks lovely; didn't realise you couldn't change the arm though.

You wouldn't really want to, after hearing the arm that's on it! They are a very decent sounding combination indeed.

The arm looks very similar to a Rega R200

No coincidence since they're both fine and often under-rated arms, from the same manufacturer (Acos?) and most probably the same design.
