    The mains voltages indicate that it was certainly built for the overseas market and was most likely partnered with the 15" silver the seller also auctioned.

    Fabulous condition! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TANNOY-15-...vip=true&rt=nc

    No! If the quoted dynamic mass of 2.5 x 10-3g is the same as the tip mass, then at 2.5mg it will do immediate and irreparable damage to your vinyl. (In fact any stylus with a tip mass of more than 1mg will do permanent damage).

    The cartridge was/is a cheap ceramic jobbo. I thought the name far more imaginative than the offerings of today. Imagine an Ortofon 2M Redhead

    Then again having thought about it that would mean there would be a 2M Blue rinse Redhead for the youngsters, Blue rinse for the old fogeys

    Looking at those "British made" capacitors reminds me, I did some gardening work for an elderly lady in Falmouth... We somehow got onto the subject or electronics & she revealed that she'd worked for "AH Hunt capacitors" in London as a young lass and had kept some of the foils as a souvenir which she duly showed me.

    Pretty cool I thought & a shame we no longer manufacture on large scale.
