Tapehead
Arrived today and bought on impulse mainly due to the sweet looks and condition.
Came in the original box with accessories and looks almost new. Seller included a new belt and stylus for the Glanz sourced MM.
Flung a Grado Z1+ on it plus the fresh belt and it sounds very nice indeed.
I think it's a pretty little deck and it's quite solidly built where it counts. Really meaty 4 pole motor, none of this tiddly Philips stuff![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Could probably respond well to a few TD160 Super-like tweaks, top plate damping etc at minimal cost.
Trio's entry deck in the mid-late 70s at £70 but far better than much of the 80s junk which followed. Mind you, that £70 is now about £400.....
