Hello

I'm looking for a used Gyrodec.
Could anybody suggest a good price to pay for a good
condition MkI(aluminum platter) without arm/cartridge?
There's a shop here that has one, but I think it's
overpriced at 1200 Euros (around 800 UKP)
what would be a reasonable maximum to pay?

Whaaaat? That's about what you'd pay for a latest spec GyroDec SE,
brand new!!

I wouldn't pay more than 500 Euros for that old deck, as the acrylic
platter was the most significant of all the upgrades.

Also, I can't find any price info on the updates that
Michell offer; Does anybody know what the bearing/platter
upgrade would cost? the motor can wait until I get some more
cash.

I could use my (original 70s) Hadcock 228 arm on it. Would
that be a good idea?

It would be a good anachronistic match, and certainly of similar
quality.
