Yes, I have seen that one , only problem is that he is looking for
personal collection in London, I am in the far north of England!!.

If you buy one make sure that you remove the main counterweight before
transporting it. The counterweight is decoupled from the rest of the arm
by a thin wire which is easily broken if the deck is bumped (as I've
found from personal experience). If possible, take a look at the manual
before moving the deck because there could be a few other things that
ought to be done before the deck is moved.

Cheers.

James.

The other thing to watch out for is that the soft plastic 'V-blocks'
that the arm knife-edge bearings sit in tend to disintegrate. I believe
replacements are available, though I don't know where from.
