    Judging by looks alone, quite possibly. So .... http://www.hifianswers.com/2018/01/p...inest-perhaps/

    Well it looks nice! Better than ‘tables they made in the late ‘70’s to early ‘80’s? Hard to say.....

    Sorry, I was thinking back to a friend’s table from back in the day, with a granite plinth and a huge S shaped tonearm. The one in the photo looks too modern compared to that? But I’m thinking back to the mid to late 70’s. Memories are a funny thing.
