I've used it for over twenty years and found it to be quite superb.

You can't be serious? Unless only using headphones. Mounting the disc like
that turns it into a near perfect diaphragm. Causing feedback at very
modest levels. Then there's the likelyhood of smashing the pickup to bits
if being slightly careless when playing a 7". Then there's the care needed
when closing the lid to avoid the pickup jumping - those soft springs
cause the whole unit to tilt alarmingly.
