He obviously thought different. It has a busted lid, the platter is still attached, which luckily has not caused damage, but the bias weight had gone walkies. Dozy bastard. I'll be wanting some money back, maybe all of it. If he was in front of me I'd probably bust his hooter!!
Thats a sin Mate... I know where you are as I got a lenco once and the guy did the same thing. he left the counter weight on and the whole back if the arm snapped off. I did repair it with a clever repair but it is damned annoying that folk cant do simple precautions to ensure a TT has a fair chance of survival
