hi everyone.now I worked out to get pictures up.does anyone no who might of made this phono stage in the pics.thanks steve

It's not a phono stage as such Steve. I can't tell the make, but to me it looks like an SUT (step up transformer) for use into a phono stage with a low output moving coil cartridge. Should you choose to use an MC cartridge, the SUT goes between the turntable and the phono stage. It boosts the low output from the cartridge to levels a normal (MM) phono stage can manage. They tend to be pricey, so I'd hang onto that if I were you. Handy thing to have.

If you have more questions about record playing gear, best bung them in the Analogue Art section where everybody can see them. :)
