Default Linn and Ariston

Hello all, I've just bought an RD80 and was told that it was the model the
LP12 was based upon. They were built in the same factory in Scotland (nr the
airport)

I was also told that Linn patented the design and sold thousands of LP12's
while the owner of Ariston committed suicide.

Is the above correct?

If so, shame on all you LP12 owners.



You could say the same for anyone using Windows, IBM were going to use
CPM for the original PC, but the owner wouldn't talk to IBM so Billy Boy
got the job instead.
