Beautiful little British turntable - well regarded belt driven deck in it's day.

Asking around £110

Has Linn mounting and is running silently.

CJ Walker's design philosophy was to control resonances by using organic materials so that colourations that couldn't be eliminated would not sound out of place with the music. This includes the use of thin cork feet.

Lid has a few scratches as would be expected for its age which don't really show from a distance. There is some feathering to the bottom edges of the deck too where the medite used there has worn of the years as you can see which could just be shaved off and blacked up to get it closer to perfect.

I'm happy to pack well and ship if need be with all precautions taken with the platter, bearing and lid etc.

I could also partner this with a Linn Basik Plus for £200 all in.

I'd like to say Nat's packaging is exemplary:)

Thanks Simon!

Just realised I forgot to check how you got on with the Linn.. was stuck in a period of non-stop early morning start, late finish work.

I take it it was all well protected enough? I hold my breath sending turntables... the lid the worse bit.

Probably safer than in a linn box, all was fine thanks;)
