Thanks Dave, could be of interest.
The heybrook looks far better in terms of build quality over the lp12

I have two TT2’s I think. I acquired them along with lots of belts, springs, mats etc when the factory closed down. These were never sold, were just stock remaining at Heybrook. I used one for a while with an RB250 then an Alphason Xenon. Need to check whether they’ve both got dust covers. It’s a nice sounding deck. No electronic speed control, you’d move the belt onto a different part of the pulley for 45. (or buy one of the aftermarket motor controllers).
Ill have a look in the store tomorrow & see what there is.

Thanks Guy
I suspect this is over? SL1200 ?? British Japanese.
Not quite. Yes, I did buy a disco deck but I’m also interested in the TT2, so …
You know it makes sense.
No, that makes no sense, not even in my chaotic, muddled up world.

Interesting that Heybrook had a substantial Aluminium subchassis decades before Linn started fitting one. But there were links. I think Heybrook used to buy their lids from Linn or their lid supplier. Certainly appears to have come from the same tooling. I believe that Heybrook & Linn also bought their very high quality belts from the same Japanese source although the Heybrook one is a little shorter because of where they mount the Phillips motor.

Hadn’t seen a MkII before. Are there any significant differences between it and the more common (?) MkI does anyone know ?
Mostly the changed armboard arrangement I guess. Early decks had some kind of steel space frame subchassis but I think they switched to the aluminium version while it was still the Mk1.

My dads had a welded steel box section sub chassis and a longer arm board with the on /off switch on the right.
His was an early mk1, with a black painted outer platter (I believe due to finishing problems on the aluminium).

That’s the version I’ve seen.
