Did you break-up with girlfriend or getting divorced?

Not too many salvage LP12s I've seen so far.

I have Napa-Walker automotive store local to where I live with machine shop where I go quite often for manufacturing components that I can't find.

All I do is plot the draft of component I want to be made and they do that.
If you're savvy with engineering drafting or autocad software, you can submit request.

Try Ebay.  As far as what else needs to be replaced, you need to see whether the sub chassis was bent and if the table balances properly after setup. 
Don't know your location and/or if you have original box/packing? I highly recommend Tom at Overture Audio in Ann Arbor, MI. He overhauled 88' vintage LP12 in March/April this year. Sounds brand new!! I am sure he could even acquire box/ packing for you and do all that is necessary to bring up to whatever spec you desire. Certainly it is worth giving him a call to consult with! Probably could give you "ball park" $ # to work with! Best Wishes

LP 12 has simple constrution with not so many parts. But Linn

invented many ''improved parts'' such that the (good) ''old parts''

can be get for cheap. There are at least 3 kinds of bearings,

platters, springs, motors and even screws. But you need to look

at eBay.uk. for your missing parts.
