    Possible score of a lifetime, for myself

    Hello Ak family, I just wanted to share my recent find. A Linn Sondek LP12 with upgraded Ekos Tonearm (mk1), Lingo 1 power supply, and a Van den hul Frog MC! Serial number puts it somewhere between 1984-1987 for the table, unsure about the Lingo or cartridge. No paper work for it except the...
