It's an Optonica RP-7100 - I've had a couple over the years. It has some fairly basic track selection facilities as a result of the opto-sensor in the second arm that sits beside the main arm. The advantage with this is that you can use any cartridge in a standard SME-style headshell but its not as good as the good old ADC Accutrac 4000 from a programmability point of view.
Quite nicely made, though and the glass lid is rather impressive!

Not that it matters much, the Luxman L-200 unit is missing the front panel end caps, mine also. Not a bad amplifier though.

This is nice. It's a Techie under the skin.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

One lovely tuner http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-ST-S3...item51c70d9479
The seller has listed it incorrectly... Its a 730ES not 370

Just a tad pricey.
