Well I just bought a very clean TD160 Super Mk.II with ADC ALT1 arm and VMS 20E cartridge. For less than half this one's price and the Super has a Lexan lid not the old polystyrene type, which as you say breaks! The arm & cartridge are gone, so now the TT stands me in at about £100, not too bad!Quote:
