Ariston RD80 deck.

Nice condition for age with a few small marks on it.

Sounds very like an early Linn LP12, made in Scotland.

Asking £110 collected.

**Monty** · 22-05-2016, 16:53

Can post in UK for £15.

**Monty** · 24-05-2016, 16:23

Price drop to £100.

**Virtual-Symmetry** · 24-05-2016, 16:25

Good price Paul. I think Steve [Pierre de Grenoble] uses one.

**Monty** · 07-06-2016, 05:45

Still available.

Hi Al

Most fitted to these were either Jelco or Linn or even SME...so i would guess a 9...

Bumping up again hard to beat at this money all....just put mine on and

very good indeed mine has a Linn LVV on it which migh get some stick .

These decks are really on a par with early Linn LP12 Sondeks...I have both and theres not much between them.
If memory serves me right, Ivor used a similar idea to the Ariston to create the Sondek (but with tighter tolerances).
The system is basically the same three point suspension.
Fresh oil in the bearing and a fresh belt will definitely give the Linn a run for its money.
Seems cheap, but there seems to be bargains everywhere I look these days! I think everyone must be losing their hearing.
Looks like a nice deck too.
