Man! That's amazing.

I travel through your area frequently and perhaps you could part with one of those that would suit me well?

You can't take them with you when you leave this place but you surely can enjoy them.

Or let someone else enjoy one of them.

It's Michell

I had a Focus One with a SME 3009S2 improved. Gorgeous to look at. I especially like the suede feel mat in dark red. In hindsight, the mat was the best part. It had the nicely made silver auxiliary record brush arm.

Do you like yours?

Out of all the tables I had prior to stepping up into the SOTA Star Sapphires, it's the only one I kept. It's a fun table easy to move around and use, flat out timeless and classy. It's kinda one of those tables I just have to keep.

That's quite a collection, but THREE SP-10 Mk3s? That's just greedy! ;)
 
I think it's four now, if the next arrives intact. The recent ones were either cosmetic trade-ups, or came with something I wanted. I'll be moving a couple of them along.
 
One owner modded SL1200MKII/AT150mlx - late night stereo listening with Sansui 2000X/Grado SR325is cans.
Stock SL1200MKII/AT70/Ortofon ProS w/1.0 mil conical/AT132EP - Mono/stereo listening with Pioneer SX-880/JBL L19s.
SLQD3 - Looking to purchase a cart/speakers for this system including Lafayette LR-9090
Audiotronics - 304A suitcase player for 78s
 
Funny thing happened on my way to the kitchen this morning.I bumped one of my stacks and knocked over 5 turntables.Luckily they didn't hit the other stacks!Turntable dominoes,what a fun game! Seriously,I have found the vinyl revival to be a little overrated.I started collecting and fixing these things a couple of years ago as a hobby.Now I have about 50 laying around,and most of them have been fixed and work great.Sad thing is,nobody seem to want them(not even my relatives) .Oh well,all the more toys for me!
