I'm Ken.
No takers yet Steve?
If no one else offers we can use my turntable.
The cable is delicate though as I have continuous lengths of solid Silver wire from the cartridge tags, to the RCA plugs that go into the phono stage and they are very thin and easily break. I've snapped them twice myself fiddling behind my Pre-Amp in the rack, but with a bit of care I'm sure we will manage.

Steve, just a wee suggestion, might be an idea to put up the location and postcode of the venue again, to save folk trawling back through the thread, and times for folk to turn up maybe?

I wasn't going to bring a turntable as I'd thought plenty people were bringing theirs.
I can bring my modified sl1210 if someone wants to bring an MC cartridge/headshell as I only have MM/HOMC.
She ain't pretty but she did the Kessel run in 12 parsecs.
