Which model of 505 did you buy?
Inflation aside, £77.00 isn't far off what a CS 505-1 cost when it was new.

Back in the day, the mags would have us believe a
Dual CS 505-1 turntable + New Acoustic Dimension 3020 integrated amplifier + a pair of Acoustic Research AR19 loudspeakers
was the best buy budget system to own.

Ah, dreams of Rega Planar 3 and A&R Cambridge A60...
