Very nice if your taste is on the blingy side 
I prefer something a bit more understated

I have realised that underneath it all I am a hifi badge snob.
I would never pay £12K for a turntable with a Pro-Ject badge on it.
I think they make fantastic budget and mid range decks and that is where I place them in my head.
This TT may be beautifully engineered and perform superbly but I wouldn’t consider it.
A bit mad really where I would happily accept that Technics can make everything from a DJ deck to a SL100 R, but I suppose they have history with the SP10 etc.
At some level we are all victims of marketing and advertising.

What do you mean, “underneath it all” 
You obviously either didn’t read the rest of my post, or didn’t understand it.
I read and understood every word of it Kev 
Heard the 12 a few years back, it was excellent. Expect this would also be good. Badge snobbery has one advantage, down the line s/h prices may look very attractive.
£12k barely scratches the bottom of the barrel in high end TTs these days - I mean really…

A great relief to find that, after partial disassembly and cleaning, arm swap and cartridge swap, this still works and sounds great. Off to Barnsley with it at the weekend.

Now fitted,think part of the problem was that originally had made the hole 25mm as that was the closest spade bit I had.
Just picked a 22mm one which is what it needed,and now lines up perfectly.
Didn’t help by the seller saying it was the s version.
So from what i can tell,it’s a mk1 type.
Just need a Shure v15 for the full early 70s front end

Presumably the cartridge mounts back to front?
(or it’s some kind of disco cartridge intended for scratching)

Blimey. Someone thought - “The trouble with vinyl is there isn’t enough faff. Hand cueing while jumping, that’s what we need.”

It’s just a design exercise by an product designer so not sure they might have thought out how ‘vinyls’ work…

Imagine how heavy it has to be at its base to be stable enough to place & clamp a record to it. I assume the cueing is auto.
Nocab Sicnarf your time in obscurity and neglect is over!

Two points: I’d like to own that system. It’s a lovely looking setup.
I have an instinctive dislike of people wearing hats indoors.
