If I wasnt facing a hefty repair bill to get my CD player spinning again, I'd be all over this like a bad rash. :)

The PT's were very "accurate" sounding decks at the time, but the build was pants in the early days and failures of assembly and bearings was common.
It weas said by Arthur that the Tarantella was better than a PT, but I seriously doubt it, as the former was a very "live" structure (I don't know the current Funk models).
When you can, good luck with the PT. I still rate good ones highly indeed for truthful vinyl replay..
I fitted that PSU with the illuminus Green/Pink control into my old LPT..That alone was a nice touch.Quote:

Beocord 1700 tuner. £20
I couldn't resist the styling. Will report on the performance later.
My friend has one of these bought when they first came out, he reckons first rate sound and no faults since he bought it. Rest of his system includes 2x Quad 405 (serviced by yours truly) a Quad 303 (also serviced by me), a Quad 44, an EL34 push pull amp, Tannoy 12" Monitor Golds, Quad ESL53's and a monster pair of speakers also made by me in the 70's (EMI 14"x9" massive magnet and cast chassis, Audax equivalent of KEFB110 (nicer sounding) KEF T15, Celestion HF1300 and Coles 4001G. These are his preferred speakers.Quote:

The matching amp (Beolab 1700) was good in its day too and well worth fettling.
Quality, Barry - that will fit in rather nicely chez-toi :respect:Quote:

Woz I robbed too? - tonight's addition to the Vintage collection - you lot are a bad influence... ;) But I just want to hear what all the fuss is about with these R200 arms... and he does say it is in "beautiful condition" God knows what cartridge is on it, though.
(Anyone want to buy a Pro-Ject RPM4?) :)
