Arran,

Thanks for your comments. Restoration is not out of the question, by any means.. although I don't know about obtaining a stylus/cartridge for the tonearm. The "replacement" is temporary - I am sure it is not the best quality, and would have sooner used a better turntable in the console, but Mrs H wants to play with the console, and it was given to her originally.

Nothing will be hacked up, modified or discarded, so returning to the original factory setup will always be possible - that was a priority. In the mean time, the other unit will provide a fun diversion, and we have lots and lots of music on LPs.

Cheers,

Ed
