Easy enough to attach a value for many items, but a Syrinx PU3 is proving difficult as few and far between to make comparisons. Any constructive ideas much appreciated. :scratch:

Upwards of £350 maybe?

Contact j7 (Johnny) at Audio Origami (www.audioorigami.co.uk) as he will undoubtedly have some idea......

Depending on the state of the wire. I’ve got Cardas rewired one, plus captive J7 lead, AO box that wouldn’t go anywhere for less than £600.

Yep, I've asked him for a quote to service/adjust. Good bloke by all accounts. Good idea.

I've had it from new and was rewired by Syrinx in 1990 I think after cables came loose(??), not special rewiring though as far as I remember, will dig out the receipt.

Known Johnny for a while and had work done on my own Zeta some time ago, along with other stuff along the way..... He's a really helpful and knowledgeable guy. Deal with confidence.

I sent mine to Jonny because i discovered it hummed just before I sold it on eBay. Had a few offers in that state @£350.
It’s a good arm, I think it’d have been more popular if it’d been a drop in Linn fit rather than Linn geometry @+30mm hole

Mmm? I thought it was Linn fit? Mine fits straight in? Unless i have the wrong board on my LP12, eek!

It’s Linn geometry, but mine at least requires 30mm hole. Linn arms are 25mm with a set of holes to bolt through.

Phew, that's OK then... can't imagine I'd have been able to set it up otherwise, but memory can be, er, something...:rolleyes:
