I own a transcriptor skeleton. Sounded quite good many years ago, considerably better than my td 124 but not as good as my linn. I just unboxed it after 20 years and set it up using the later sme and shure v15. During the storage period the belt stretched so I cannot play. I contacted transcriptor in England but could not figure how to pay in British pounds. I emailed again and have still not heard back. Check the sight "transcriptor" for more info. Good Luck
