Thanks all, some great ideas and suggestions,
I'll start by checking the battery compartment as suggested (that's a very good point about whether there has been leakage and damage). BTW, my lack of knowledge of these camera's means I have just had to Google where the battery compartment is...
I come at this as someone with no knowledge of the subject looking for advice on how best to move on some camera equipment I have inherited.
Contained in a couple of old camera bags are:
Nikon FE camera
Tokina 70-210 lens
Tokina 28-70 lens
Tamron SP 2x converter
Tamron Adaptall 2
Jessop 13mm...
I'm on the look out for one of these. Must be in good condition or, better still, unused.
Please let me know if you have one you would like to part with.
I think a comparison is important for two reasons:
1. The outgoing GR is still available, often discounted, so currently can be had for a few hundred £ less than the GR2. Possibly an important factor for someone looking to buy.
2. Technics really make a big thing about the improvement brought...
For me the most important thing is how does the GR2 sound compared to the GR?
Technics marketing for the GR2 bangs on about how much the drive circuit and power supply have been greatly improved. Therefore a comparison between them is surely needed, particularly as there is a £200 price hike...
If your not wedded to getting the 'Heritage Green' one then the 'Satin White' can be had for even less at a VIP price of £399.

You might find this useful. Last year I contacted AT to ask which of their headshells they would recommend for an OC9xml on a 1200GR and this was the response:
"As the OC9XML is fairly high compliance I would suggest that the best match would be our AT-LH11H headshell. This can be...
I would concur that the AT trade in scheme only applies when it is worn, not broken.
At the moment you can get a new one for £423 from hifimadness on t' bay using a discount code. A pretty good deal.
