Bought in 1984, I still have mine. I upgraded the subchasis early on with the cast aluminium TT2mk2 version. The first one was not level on top, so Heybrook warrantied it. BIG improvement over the steel Mk1 subchasis! Reliable operation, stays level.Good bass. I liked the fact that it has a mostly solid plinth, solid bearing and stiff subchasis. Use with Rega RB-300 arm and Audio Technica AT-F7. Love it!
