Cool!!!! A Lecson style turntable
Probably could be done from a Rega with decent ease. I always thought of the Gale one as a 1970's iconic style TT.
Kit that, irrationally, you’ve always just wanted…

As we're all friends here and I consider this to be a safe place, I finally feel I can unburden my darkest inner audio desire to you all.
Yes, that's right - an Amstrad Studio 100

Good call- I can see it! Blackbird arm though, obviously.

I had an irrational desire to own these and made the mistake of doing so:
Didn’t you like them? I always thought they were great.

Turntable to match a Lecson you say?
How about a Braun PS-550?

On something slightly more accessible, if still a bit scarce, I'd love to get my mitts on a mint pair of original Sonus Faber Extrema with the six-pillar stands.
Even if you could find a pair would it not be a concern to find replacement drivers if required?
It's one of the things that put me off buying older high end speakers and why I opted for a new pair.

If it’s broke fix it!
What an amazing piece of engineering!

That is nice, and would also match well!

While a student I worked holidays at the white/brown goods division of a huge dept. store. One day we got a 100 in. Mounted in on the display, tried to fire it up. Nothing worked. Opened the back. Most of the internal cabling was not plugged in.

It's always a bit of a gamble. As long as it looks, works and sounds OK at the time, then it'll be fine. Drivers tend to fail catastrophically, but most can be repaired. When I bought my Yamaha NS-1000Ms, they were nigh on 40 years old. I made sure all the drivers were operational and they sounded normal before I paid for them.

They weren't bad. The space they were in was far too big and acoustically horrid. They were far better than the B&Ws they replaced and not as good as the Neat MF9s that replaced them.
Ooooooooo, thanks for that. Well i didn't know that (clearly), thank you. I have a black Claymore, a much cherished nickel one, plus the matching black tuner... now, who do i have to kill for a Gold one? ((apart from Paul Miller, of course))
The FMT tuner a nice thing, only 40 ever made.
The main module front end was supplied by Larsholts and I got them from Mike Creeks Dad at Ambit in Brentwood. (Mike Mini Weekend coming up soon at Westward Ho)
They can be retuned to go 75MHz to 150MHz the LCD meter was from a company called Lascar near Howard Popeck shop at Camden, up stairs.
On my DATA forum you can find all the circuit diagrams for all my audio,PSU and other designs including TQ cables all 35 types only a few being used at the moments.
And my patents for SSR, Cables TQ and EWA, MC stage, boat engine, SMPSU's, XRay generator, solar panel psu converter, sub 10Hz detectors and a few transmitters.
After my second stroke last Nov I am giving up eyes sight is now crap for small things and I am waiting for God. I hope he as a good set up so I can play Kraftwerk loud.
Oh somebody here mentioned A Class, in the early 1990 I did a 300W/Ch SECA design because a nice Yank said he had made the biggest in the world at 50W, well is was not a SECA design but a Push-Pull.
Dan Agostino thought when he saw them 1.8M high each at 180Kg 300Wthat they were speakers. Sadly the 300W's got smashed up for scrap but the few 20W and the 50W, 100W, and 200W are still about. T.O.C.A. Touch Of Class A a name thought up by Alan Elsdon when we made Dreadnought 200W and 300W bright Strontium Blue in Colour just after Relph pushed me out of A.C.Magnum, gosh sounds familiar

You just reminded me, i missed out on a Dreadnought + Claymore pre recently, was definitely a 'bugger' moment. Did you keep any of your wonderful creations?
