Rega Planar 2 (P2000)Upgrade and Rebuild
I recently bought Planar 2 without an arm for £75 (P2000 model) to use in 2nd system i was putting together. I already had a fully modified Audio Origami RB300 for it and thought I'd just buy a new belt, happy days a nice little plug and play deck to go with the Nait 5 and Dynaudio Audience 52's,
3 weeks later all that's left of the original is the bearing housing, feet, plinth and the lid.
The P2000 has an older 110v motor, plastic sub platter and a platter made of either resin or mdf it's hard to tell so I decided to replace all three and also get a TTPSU.
Unless I absolutely have to I always buy used as well as keeping costs down it means that the items you buy are fully run in and unless you buy them on eBay and just stick to forum classifieds you can be almost certain you'll get what you thought you where buying.
