 I still have it, it's been sitting in drydock for a few years now. I think I explained on Vecher's 46-1201 thread. Basically I got it to a point where it played but I could not align it in such a way that the dial would track properly. On top of that the phono cartridge needs a rebuild or replacement, I could not get the mercury tilt switch to work consistently, and the platter needs re-flocking. This is just the electro-mechanical side not the cosmetic side, the cabinet needs refinishing and it needs a new grille cloth too. So other things came along and I put the unit aside and never got back to it.
Regards
Arran
