crikey, trying to see if i remember this list:
-Rega Planar 2 (newer style from late 80’s with RB250 arm)
-Technics SL1300 mk2 with SME3009 arm
then i had nothing for absolutely years and years until:
-Michel Syncro / Technoarm - i got this on long term loan from a friend and then had it for about 15 years
-Pro-Ject 6 Perspex SB
-Clearaudio Performance DC
-Technics SL1200 GR2
-Technics SL1500C
I’m pretty bought into the technics thing, but the 1500C is a little lightweight, so I think a 1300G will be in my near future

the markets shite at the moment but that still seems to be really cheap
I honestly didn’t know about prices but it stands out as a nice option.
It’s not in great shape, though.
And it needs a plinth built / arm etc etc
I did hear an SL1000R recently though and loved it… but it’s all the money
Not sure who in the UK could/would service one of those now.

Vantage audio long gone now.
Was really strange how it all ended under a bit of a cloud, still don’t know what happened to Richard ? But he was suffering from depression.

Might have forgotten a couple, will add later if I remember.
Since I got The Lenco and stuck a Jelco arm on it, and later replaced the original plinth for a small form birch ply one, it’s pretty much been a mainstay. All other TT’s have been temporary and I have consistently gone back to the Lenco between buying and selling each of the others. I simply preferred it to everything else I compared it to, until now (SP10).
