BSR thingie with Empire cartridge.
Well...if yer gonna do nostalgia and Dad's
I still have terribly fond memories of my Dad's Pye Black Box.
Bless' im.
I can remember getting back late from the pub/parties, whatever,around '75 and putting a cushion on the floor with the two speakers forming a triangle over my spinning head.
We woz too poor for 'eadphones in them days.
Did Lindisfarne or Yes ever sound better? Probably not.
Garrard AP76 with Goldring G800 (later, M75-ED) and Goldring VV7 phono stage.
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me
It was a Sharp something or other, from Second-Hand Land in Norwich. No idea what cartridge it had, I just bought it because my midi system one was crap and broken... Then I got given the Garrard 401/SME 2009/Shure M75 combo - happy days, though I never knew anything of it's pedigree or desirability until relatively recently.

Garrard GT35 with an Ortofon FF15E cartridge. I liked it a lot at the time but it was replaced with a Thorens TD160BC with a Mayware Formula IV arm and a Lentek Entre 1 cartridge.

My first turntable was a JVC QL-70 fitted with a SME III arm and Signet TK7E cartridge which I bought from the now deceased Radford Hi- FI in Bristol. But within a few months I bought a Denon DP80 with Micro Seiki MA505S and SAEC 308L tonearms from Hong Kong, since then my itch has never stopped.
