Could be a long shot but....
I'm looking for a TD150 or 160 mk2 for a long term project, really fancy building myself something individual. If anyone has one to sell, not necesarily with its arm as that will be replaced as will the plinth. As long as the bearing and motor are ok.:)

I have a restored TD150 for sale if you decide you don't want to do all the work yourself and just want to start playing music straight away, the rebuild I did on this deck can be viewed here:

I fitted it with a Linn LVX Plus which I would also be interested in selling, or I could reinstall the original TP13 if you prefer.

PM me for price if you are interested, the deck is currently in London but I could pack it for postage if required.

Thanks Dingdong I hadn't spotted that one although it seems to be a bit of a gamble with 'that auction site' these days. Price is good though.

Nice rebuild Moko and ta for the offer. Can't really afford to splash the cash given how quiet work is so I'm definitely going for an old one then I can take my time over it.

It looks far worse than it is that ebay one, its really easy to make an armboard and looks like it would be perfect for you as you've seen from my rebuild it is not to hard to build a better plinth.

I was thinking about £150 for the deck plus £90 for the Linn arm for anyone else who might be interested:)

There is always this and you might be able to pick it up and pay cash.
