Sounds lovely but not sure if it's within my budget- PM sent.

Not sure if it's within your budget or not, but this has an excellent tonearm (Luxman TA-1) designed by Micro Seiki. The TT itself was made by Fujiya Audio which produced a lot of turntables for the likes of Micro Seiki, Denon and Yamaha.

I've bought from them in the past and had a pleasant experience.

Gosh that's pretty, and I've had a soft spot for Luxman gear since I worked in a dealers in the late 80's - lovely amps I remember.
Thanks Pavel, I'll look into that. Slainte mhath

I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it, it's a bulletproof deck.
