    Just picked this up, sold on ebay for 'parts or not working', turned out it just needed an earth cable. Some issues with the way the counter weight assembly is attached (or not!) to the arm, just needs a longer screw (oh Matron!). The fella I bought it off had the weight hard up against the stop so I guess the new AT stylus that was fitted had been tracking at about 5 gms! Anyway just needs a good clean up (no apparent scratches or marks) & it'll be a reasonable back up deck (the fact that it's got a removable headshell means I can try different cartridges on it easily. All for the princely sum of £7.99!

    Nice result. Nice turntable.

    I do like seventies Jap gear. Nicely made stuff that usually works very well.

    Touch sensitive start/stop (it's actually got brake shoes so stops instantly) & 'photokinetic end-of-play mechanism' (the arm comes off the record) & built like a brick outhouse (it's survived my clumsy fumbling for 30 odd years). I keep trying other decks but always come back to this one
