    I have been looking for this table for a secondary system (kinda a man-cave spot) for over a year.
    I finally found a 1 owner table locally - just back from the audio-shop for a complete once-over (cleaning/adjustment) and proper install/alignment of a Shure V 15 Type III I have had waiting for a new home (only 30 hours on the cart).

    It is all vintage gear and it sounds and performs wonderfully. My "new" Harman Kardon T60c -

    Way cool, cat9!

    What are the two components and other TT? WHERE OH WHERE can I get some orange vinyl?

    Thanks sgb!

    Found the equipment in 4 stages -

    Pioneer SA-6800 Stereo Integrated Amplifier (1 owner / excellent shape / had been in storage for over 10 years / came with original manual)

    The same fellow as the amp - the second TT is a Pioneer PL-255 DD deck (same story - excellent shape / I use it as a test table when I get "new" vinyl before cleaning / then to the HK after that!)

    Then I found the cd - nothing fancy but really nice shape and very inexpensive - Yamaha 5 disc changer

    Not in pic - Pioneer S-710 L/R mirror speaker set - flawless condition used 6 months since new....long story!

    Then the HK T60c I just found a few weeks ago

    I'm really fortunate! This system came together with some patience but the components were worth the wait.

    And the orange vinyl I actually use as TT platter covers...keeps off dust, etc. They sell for $30 plus depending on what they are made of. This coloured vinyl was $3 each and I buy it from one of our local record shops - he keeps most of the coloured vinyl that comes in behind the counter for anyone who is looking for coloured lp's for artsy uses or practical uses like mine.

    I keep thinking of replacing it but once I cleaned out the bearing well the table seems quiet to me, I just can't find a reason to replace it. I love all the torque the motor has when using a cleaning brush. I will buy a new turntable in the near future, but I don't need one, I just want one. I also like the fact that it has auto lift and off for when I get summoned to the Queen.

    I wanted to comment on heman's table from part 3 of the thread.

    What color stain is that on the pilnth? I've been looking for a color like that to redo my Slingerland Gene Krupa Drumset.

    Peace,
    Jake

    This is my custom table based on a Roksan Radius 5. I replaced the stock maple veneered MDF plinth with 1" bubinga. The arm and cart are Rega. The phono stage is George Wright.

    What motor did you use?

    It is the same motor used in Well-Tempered turntables. The whole base is a Well Tempered base. I really don't know the brand of the motor. But it is just a typical little one.
