Lol... Those are (minus the rather fetching green-coloured formica) exactly what I bought from Big Ears Audio. My LMs also had Reds inside, but I later changed them for Golds, preferring their overall sonic presentation in my system.Originally Posted by walpurgis
Most interesting that these have come from Rockfield Studios, where more than a few classic albums were produced!!

£1900.00 for those is a bargain, if I only had the space.... I wonder which studio they came from? I know and have used the Rockfield ones in the past. A pair of The Who's Lockwood/Reds were sold recently. I have the Eatons out of studio 2 at Tin Pan Alley Studios (as used by Pete Townsend) which will be refurbished this year.

Theyre the rather less desirable reds, the late ones which are not hammerited, and have gold type crossovers. Golds in all but name...

For those that groove on Deccas and Hadcocks.
And, I suppose, the Technics SL-1500.

Get the finish stripped back to the Oak veneer, unscrew the Queen anne legs off.. On some stands jobs a good un.. They also have hard wired crossovers makes em easy to re-build with big caps..

I personally do not like those arms. However you can still buy Armboards, Springs & belt for these decks for full service..
