Early Linn Sondek LP12 from 1974 Part 2
You can see how this very original Linn Sondek LP12 from 1974 was received at ripcaster for service in Part 1.
The goal was to just clean and service the turntable and keep it original. You can see the results in the images below.
The owner also retained all the original paperwork since the day of purchase from B & B HiFi in Reading on 8th November 1974. What a time capsule!
Almost 50 years of musical enjoyment now ready for the next 50.
