I like the provision to mount two (12" ?) arms.

The 'chicken head' style knob of the speed control (or is a single speed on-off switch?) looks a bit amateurish, but the Schick TT is at the prototype stage.

Sounded very good indeed , looked underneath and a old commonwealth in a fancy plinth

When I clicked on the above link, my Avast anti virus reported a threat.
Thought I'd mention it just in case.

I think it was being used at least some of the time at the show in Munich back in May. Thomas does have a fair bit of experience working with some of the older broadcast decks like Commonwealth & McCurdy so will fully understand the engineering they involve. Those designs are actually appealingly simple.
