Not really. It will be at least 30 years old at this point. BSR, along with Garrard, were the most prolific low-end builders of turntable mechanisms. Both attempted in the mid-70s to go upmarket by building more sophisticated turntables but only managed to make more complex versions of their basic models.

The BSR auction is an example of the next-to-top of the line for BSR. It was surprisingly complex underneath and worked in a clunky fashion when new, IMHO. I can't imagine that 30 years will have done any magic on it.

Keep looking.....
