Nice. Got to be worth grabbing at the right price. Good TT and the arm is OK with low to medium compliance carts. (I like Thorens, they just do a good job)
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Ive got a project debut 2 at the moment which is fine but ive often looked at some of the more vintage TTs and wanted one.

I reckon that Thorens will run circles around your ProJect. It has to be worth a couple of hundred, if you can get it for less. Go For it!

Surprised you'd have gone for that, dude. The cantilever's been pulled to one side, which is a sure sign of incorrect bias having being applied, over an extended period. I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole, unless you were just after it for the cartridge, not the stylus...
Whenever I'm looking at used vintage cartridges (even MMs), styli with 100% straight cantilevers are a must!
