    I’m looking forward to hearing this one tomorrow though I doubt the Wharfedale Linton xp3’s ( they came with it ) will do it justice so I’ll hook up my radfords to it.
    I loved it Andrew, after my old Dansette record player and my parents Ferguson radiogram it was the most exotic thing in the world.

    Yes listening to the tuner , damn good bit of kit but worthless really unless I can find an interior designer, the cassette deck does work but the sound is just a load of clicks , new drive belt ordered for the TT .
    It came with some Wharfedale Linton xp3’s that are almost like new , again not worth much .
