You’re quite right. Well spotted. Those vivid teal recliners were really very handsome but over time they started doing my back in.
The replacements are also teal but not so vivid. They’re a pair of his and hers Howard Keith 1950s wing backs covered in a period Tibor Reich fabric. I think originally they were black leather and when they need recovered again I might well go down that route. I’ve had them a few years now and they’re the most comfortable chairs I’ve ever had.
Very nice still 
Haha, I just found a photo of my system from March 2000.
I think it might have actually been a picture of new curtains.
Full Cyrus rack, TDL RTL 3 and that’s definitely a Russ Andrews power cable lurking in the background 
LOL, I remember being heartbroken because I couldn’t receive a free YellO from HiFi Choice,. Offer wasn’t available outside Britain 
Wow. I couldn’t have told you where it came from, but I think you’ve hit the nail on the head!
Any opinions/experience of Well Tempered Simplex?
Actually sounds quite nice. It is however an absolute thundercunt with oak leaves swords and diamonds to assemble and use. The arm is… let’s be honest here… fucking weird and the fishing line drive belt (which you have to loop and tie yourself because Well Tempered hates you) is certainly in the top five ‘cuntiest things I’ve ever set up’ and I’ve set up one or two things over the years.
A mere trifle to a master of turntable set up and fettling like @J_B 
Recognition at last 
I’m a bit of a useless twat when setting up any tt, wt are hard but not impossible and never heard a bad one sound wise

Used to have one, I’m a huge fan of them, really nice sound.
They don’t come with a dust cover so I had to get one made for it
Didn’t find it that bad to setup although the silicon and the anti-skate is fun, I don’t use an arm lift so cueing the arm wasn’t that horrendous.
is this Edinburgh?
Did the 13ft ceilings give it away?
Main door tenement on Spottiswoode Street.
The one I’m looking at comes with a dust cover and a Yakamoto arm lift. I’ve really wanted to try one for years but I’m a bit nervous of taking the plunge.
Man it’s a turntable you only live once
It’ll be fine @J_B
I’ve never set up the golf ball arm, but I do own the older paddle style arm. Not that bad to set up, as was mentioned the anti-skate is the hardest part. It’s actually pretty nice arm to use without an arm lift as well, the stylus drops smoothly into the groove and is easy to lift.
Go for it, they hold their price.
If he’s posting it just make sure he removes the silicon bath pot and either empties it or wraps it in plastic with loads of elastic bands around the top to prevent any leakage. It’s a right twat to cleanup that stuff.
Maybe I should wait MJs Denon 
Grow a pair and get the WT
