Yes, I saw that. It's a nice item for its era, probably on a par with a Rogers Cadet II (ECL86). But I expect it'll have noisy controls, a bit of hum, very tired caps, phono sockets that need changing and it has antique speaker terminals and it's going to be silly money. But I'd like it!Originally Posted by Stubies

It's an SUT (step up transformer) for use with a low output moving coil cartridge into an MM phono stage. I use one.

I always thought they look a bit cheesy myself, but there you go - no accounting for taste, eh?!
