That's an interested read Rob, thanks for linking it.

I've researched a lot about the LP12 recently, quite fascinating but also a big money pit if you want to really go to town. You can build a complete LP12 it seems with virtually nothing coming from Linn themselves, although I haven't seen an aftermarket outer platter yet, but everything else . . . the sky's the limit!

EDIT:

Cancel that, I just found an after market outer platter . . . a bunch of them in fact!
