Hi! Long time no post, busy at main job including weekends but here I am.
Do you remember your first ever turntable? I do! Back when I was 16 (1978) I convinced my Dad to buy me a used music system which included a Dual 1219 turntable as pictured below.
Lovely turntable back then which included a Shure M91ED moving magnet phono cartridge. Sadly in late 1980 someone broke into our house and stole the entire system. This one was replaced by a Technics SL-B2, which also got stolen in 1982 (believe or not same burglar, but he got caught). A few years later I bought a Rega Planar 3, which was replaced a few months after by my current Linn LP12, and the rest is history.
Enjoy!
Vic
