UPDATE, I Have Finally Found The Turntable For Life.
Well after over 2 years of searching for the turntable to complete my project I have found it and what a turntable, It has been worth it as these are a rare as hens teeth and to find one in this condition (Absolute mint and really in as new condition) with the original box is I believe unheard off, I for now will not ever throw any boxes away like I used too.
I would like to thank those that had replied to my threads which helped me make the decision on this.

Now *THAT* is a proper turntable! Major respect, Paul
It's the sort of thing we might have seen on our shores, 'back in the day', if we hadn't been subjected to the Linn/belt-drive BULLSHIT brainwash... "Jap crap" indeed!
Anyway, where did you get it from, which cartridge are you using, and could we please see close-ups of the rest of your gear (along with supplying a list of what's what)?
Ta!

I can't help thinking you should stain the wooden rack posts a darker shade to match the tone of the turntable and the equipment cheeks .. but then I am OCD

Hello Marco The other items in the rack are in my signature.
I bought this from a very nice Chap from Canada, and had an intermediary (PFM member) who viewed it, reported on it and paid on my behalf, then double boxed it while I made arrangements from DHL to call, collect and deliver to my home address in the UK.
It really is some deck but what makes it special is the suspension and tonearm/wand, I did not think that these would make such a difference but how wrong was I.
If interested click on link and read the brochure https://www.vinylengine.com/library/pioneer/pl-90.shtml
Thanks for comment.Originally Posted by Marco
